Description: the project aims at supporting European cities in the testing of services that integrate data on road conditions (traffic, restrictions on movement and access to cars) with those of the public transport services, for cycling and car pooling. This testing is performed by using, by a select group of people, with a special multi-modal browser installed on your smartphone. People involved will also return data and feedback on the operation of the browser itself. The added value of the project is to systematize the different sources of data, to ensure quality and updating and, where possible, open data to third parties in the form of open web services.
