1. APPROACH

This principal goal of these activities was to obtain valuable feedback on technical and business

issues of the STREETLIFE developments by collecting various opinions of different RTD

parties in the mobility sector. Technical and scientific workshops, so-called RTD collaboration

workshops, contribute to these objectives and have been conducted by the three pilot cities.

They should inform interested local parties as

companies (potential service providers)

scientific institutions

public authorities and

other relevant stakeholders in the mobility sector

about the scientific project achievements in order to get the desired feedback. Using these

results, the systems could be adapted to the real needs in the pilot sites. Furthermore, valuable

input for the definition of business scenarios was also expected.

As result from several discussions between the project partners, it was decided to organize one

RTD collaboration workshop per pilot site. These workshops should take place in the time range

from the middle to the end of the second project year, i.e. between April and September 2015.

This would allow presenting the ideas of STREETLIFE's second iteration of research and

development to the workshop participants and getting feedback before the start of the related

pilot experiments in October 2015.

STREETLIFE agreed to link the RTD collaboration workshops to other events on smart

mobility. A larger audience can be reached with this approach and more feedback from experts

can be obtained.

Furthermore, this deliverable describes not only the RTD collaboration workshops of the pilot

sites. Collaboration activities with other EU funded research projects in the mobility area were

undertaken by WP2 and are also included and reported in this document.



2. RTD COLLABORATION WORKSHOPS

2.1. ITS Factory Development Forum (Finland)

The RTD collaboration workshop of Tampere took place in conjunction with the ITS Factory

Development Forum on 08 May 2015 at University of Tampere.

ITS Factory is an innovation, experimentation and development environment in cooperation of

the City of Tampere and companies from relevant sectors (cf. www.hermiagroup.fi/its-factory

for further information). It is a great ecosystem in the Tampere region to do collaboration. Both

City of Tampere and CGI are members of ITS Factory which provides a valuable dissemination

channel for STREETLIFE in addition to the focus test group users in the Tampere pilot of

STREETLIFE.

There were research institutions, public organisations and private companies present at the ITS

Factory Forum, and the event included also some networking with the Open Data developer

community. This community uses among others the STREETLIFE Open APIs of the Tampere

real-time journey planner.

Mika Vuorio (CGI) and Mika Kulmala (City of Tampere) presented an overview of the

STREETLIFE project and gave some details about the experiments that are part of the Tampere

pilot.

organizations (cf. participant list below for more details).

Figure 2: Participant list of ITS Factory workshop



2.1.3. Summary

STREETLIFE was presented in ITS Factory Forum where other ITS projects of the Tampere

region were also presented. The style of the seminar was that each presenter gave a short pitch.

The STREETLIFE presentation included an introduction to the project and its goals, status of

the project, experiments done, findings after the first year pilot and plans for the second

iteration. The most interesting parts for people attending seemed to be the mixed reality

experiments, the traffic flow management idea and the achievements after the first pilot

iteration. After the presentation there was some time for questions and a short discussion. The

participants were encouraged to talk about STREETLIFE in their organizations and to promote

an active participation in the Tampere pilot of STREETLIFE.

Lunch time was arranged as a means for networking which was used by the STREETLIFE

representatives for a very intensive discussion, especially about project goals and possibilities

in transportation flow management.

At the end of seminar, developers of the Open Data developer community were showing what

they had done using the Open Data, and additional networking took place.

The general feeling of the event was that it was impressive to show the progress of

STREETLIFE and how the project reaches the goals in the city region. Many interesting

comments and positive feedback were received, but also advice what could be the exploitation

challenges based on the experience of other projects. It seemed that there were persons at the

Forum who were positively impressed about what has been undertaken in STREETLIFE.

As direct result from the ITS Factory Forum two follow-up meetings have been held. These

two meetings were devoted to more general issues in order to show what each organization is

doing. It was also discussed in the context of further exploitation whether something could be

done together in future.

1) Meeting between STREETLIFE with University of Tampere, Prof. Nummenmaa

The Tampere University showed what they are doing with the Open API’s. They have been

researching on the analysis of real-time data that CGI provides through Open API’s. They are

collecting the real-time data that the STREETLIFE system provides and have been researching

on the detection of traffic patterns. It was very interesting to see how the Open API has been

used in research. There were fruitful discussions, both technical and ideas how to possible

cooperate in future. A potential start of a good relationship was formed.

Jyrki Nummenmaa (Professor in School of Information Sciences at the University of Tampere),

Paula Syrjärinne (doctoral student) and Mika Vuorio (CGI) participated at the meeting.

2) Meeting between STREETLIFE with start-up company EEE Innovations

EEE innovations develops an online control system for scheduled (public) transport. The

meeting was intended to show what each one is doing and whether something could be done

together in future. EEE innovations had an interesting idea how the STREETLIFE solution in

Tampere could be extended.

The start-up executives and the founder of EEE Innovations as well as Mika Vuorio (CGI)

participated at the meeting.



2.2. International Workshop at IAA (Germany)

The workshop was named "Smart Mobility Services for the Smart City: Architectures and

Solutions towards a Service Market Place" and took place on 23 September 2015 at the

International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt/Main, Germany (Auditorium 2 of Hall 3.1).

This RTD collaboration workshop of the Berlin pilot was a joint undertaking of the four

European projects

STREETLIFE

PETRA

MYWAY

SIMPLI-CITY.

Presented and discussed were innovative solutions towards a Service Market Place. Within the

workshop, the four mobility projects presented selected solutions for the mobility of the future

and discussed information systems from the scientific perspective: an innovative Road User

Information System of the Future (SIMPL-CITY), a Personal Transport Advisor as an

integrated platform of mobility patterns for Smart Cities (PETRA), the MyWay view and

architecture of multimodal mobility services and related business perspectives as well as the

STREETLIFE approach for multi-modal sensor fusion for value added services in Berlin.

The idea of the four projects was to attract more (international) participants for the workshop

by sending the workshop invitation to the contact persons of the projects and by choosing an

attractive meeting venue, the "New Mobility World" (newmobilityworld.com) in the frame of

the well-known International Motor Show IAA in Frankfurt on Main, Germany, one of the

biggest motor shows worldwide.

At the IAA New Mobility World, there were exhibitors on 30.000 square meters in the areas of

connected car, automated driving, electric mobility, urban mobility and mobility services. Not

only large global companies as e.g. Bosch and Samsung but also some start-ups were present

to show their solutions of intelligent mobility. A number of events and presentations were also

organised in this framework. The New Mobility World at IAA took place the first time and

intended to provide a central location for the developments and innovations in the mobility

market.

René Kelpin (DLR), Benjamin Dittwald (Fraunhofer FOKUS) and Yogesh Nagappa (Siemens)

from the Berlin pilot team presented different aspects of the STREETLIFE project.

2.2.1. Agenda

An invitation (four pages, cf. below) was designed for the international workshop and

distributed by the partners of the four projects to their business networks.



Figure 4: IAA Workshop invitation

The agenda is shown below and comprises some presentations about different topics from

technology to business of the four projects. A panel discussion with a representative of each

project concluded the workshop.



Figure 5: Agenda of IAA workshop

2.2.2. Participants

The workshop was located in an open space so that interested persons had the possibility to join

and leave the workshop whenever they want. The people were not tracked and hence, there is

no consolidated list of participants. But 32 persons were registered and approx. 30 to 40

participants attended the workshop.



Nevertheless, the four projects have expected to attract more people to the workshop. It seems

that the IAA motor show was not optimal for such workshops although the New Mobility World

is targeted to such innovative mobility solutions. However, one has also to consider that the

IAA New Mobility World takes place the first time and probably, it needs some further time to

develop this new format.

2.2.3. Summary

Volker Hoffmann from SIMPLI-CITY moderated the workshop that was structured as follows:

Keynote speech

Slots for the presentations of the four projects (including a brief discussion after each

presentation)

Panel discussion.

Axel Volkery, Policy Officer of Research and Innovative Transport Systems at DG Mobility

and Transport (DG MOVE) was gained as keynote speaker for the workshop. He presented the

strategic view of the European Commission concerning Smart Cities and Smart Mobility

Services and presented challenges and opportunities in this area. In addition, he informed about

the different possibilities of getting funding for innovative projects and introduced the European

Innovation Partnership on Smart Cities and Communities.

Two presentations of SIMPLI-CITY started the project session. In the first presentation, the

SIMPLI-CITY project was introduced in the context of technological solutions for Smart Cities

and app market places. New research results from the science perspective on information

systems and possible future scenarios of app development were presented in the second

presentation. The main challenges in interoperability, data privacy and protection has been laid

down in more detail.

The presentation "Personal Transport Advisor: an integrated platform of mobility patterns for

Smart Cities to enable a demand-adaptive transportation system" of the PETRA project also

described its main challenges and expected results.

The MyWay project gave two presentations about the MyWay view on multimodal mobility

services for smart cities and about the business perspectives of the MyWay services.

The STREETLIFE presentation with the title "The STREETLIFE approach for multi-modal

sensor fusion for value added services in Berlin - today and tomorrow" concluded the project

session of the workshop. It was divided into three parts that were presented separately:

René Kelpin (DLR) introduced the Berlin pilot experiments

Benjamin Dittwald (Fraunhofer FOKUS) explained the Mobility Management

Emission Control Panel (MMECP) as a tool for sustainable traffic management

Yogesh Nagappa (Siemens) presented the architectural view on the STREETLIFE

components



At the end of the workshop, a panel session was moderated by Jose Lorenzo (SIMPLI-CITY)

under the headline "Technical solutions for the urban mobility of the future". A representative

of each of the four projects was assigned to the panel. The discussion addressed many topics as

e.g. Mobility as a Service, Open APIs, privacy and connectivity.

The participants considered the workshop as successful and that such a joint workshop of

several European projects improved the collaboration and knowledge exchange between

them.

2.3. METROPARCO Workshop (Italy)

The RTD collaboration workshop in Rovereto was devoted to a specific development of the

STREETLIFE project, the METROPARCO parking management platform. The workshop took

place in the "Urban Center Rovereto" on 7 October 2015.

METROPARCO is an innovative application that can handle the variety of information on

urban parking as part of the smart city policies and mobility management. In Rovereto, the

potential of METROPARCO has already been field-proven through a partnership between the

City of Rovereto and Azienda Multiservizi Rovereto, the company in charge of the city park

management.

METROPARCO was presented to councillors, mobility managers and technicians of various

Italian municipalities that were invited by the City of Rovereto. The workshop was an

opportunity to present the METROPARCO background and functionality, but also to discuss

the problems that the various cities are experiencing in the management of the parking system.

All Rovereto pilot partners of STREETLIFE (City of Rovereto, CAIRE and FBK) were present

at the workshop. Marco Pistore (FBK) introduced the STREETLIFE project to the audience.

Francesco Avesani (CAIRE) explained the METROPARCO background and Annapaola

Marconi (FBK) presented the METROPARCO control panel called dashboard.



2.3.1. Agenda

The agenda of the event is shown below. STREETLIFE and METROPARCO were introduced

to the participants and the dashboard was presented. A question and discussion session followed

to gather the feedback of the participants.

2.3.3. Summary

METROPARCO was born in the context of the STREETLIFE project and took its origins from

the need of managing urban parking and mobility with a simple and unique tool, a control panel

to give to a mobility manager who can analyse real-time information and take decisions based

on solid data.

As background information, some numbers are given to better understand the situation in

Rovereto:

• Rovereto: about 40.000 inhabitants

• Vallagarina area: about 100.000 inhabitants

• About 50.000 daily arriving to Rovereto

• Commuters trips:

◦ 50% within the urban area



◦ 80% of commuters come from the Vallagarina area

• 63% of those who arrive from the Vallagarina area use their own vehicle

• High traffic pressure on the city centre, in particular during the morning (near 4.500 cars

more than during the night)

• About 10.000 parking lots

◦ 50% street level parking

◦ 2.500 pay and display, 2.000 of them are street level parking

• Occupational level over 85% during the morning and over 75% in the afternoon

The problems to be faced are many and not simple to solve. In particular, they can be

summarised as follows:

• Lack of a complete and digital parking offer representation

• Difficulty in collecting and storing data about parking occupation and earnings

• Lack of data that can help in improving urban mobility (traffic saturation, mean time to

find a free parking lot, etc.)

• Difficulty or impossibility to analyse historical or real time data

• Inability to adapt to accidents

• Need to plan and optimize parking surveys and data collection

The idea and base concept of METROPARCO arose from these needs and problems, proposing

solutions addressing all of them.

Thanks to METROPARCO it would be possible to:

• Collect, store and organise all parking data (both on the street level or in specific

structures) in a simpler and faster way

• Increase and enlarge the number of data available thanks to the contribute of civil

servants and specific figures

• Do quick calculations and estimations for specific areas and days of the year about

parking occupation level, available lots, earnings, etc.

• Improve the communication between the mobility manager and the parking service

responsible

• Improve the parking offer organisation in occasion of usual recurrings or special events

• Give in charge figures a tool to directly communicate with users, for example suggesting

them where to park

METROPARCO is currently managed by AMR (Rovereto Multiservice Company), which is

in charge of the town's parking management.

The hope is that METROPARCO will really lead to significant results in terms of reducing the

vehicular pressure on the city centre, for example subsidizing parking in specific structures

decreasing fees, and encouraging citizens and commuters in adopt more sustainable and

virtuous behaviours.



These results could be achieved keeping updated constantly all the technologies and services

involved in METROPARCO, guaranteeing a direct communication channel between the

mobility manager and the parking service responsible. In this way, citizens and commuters

would be given the best experience in their trips around the town, with a useful and always

updated service.

Concluding, the workshop was a good opportunity to present the reasons behind

METROPARCO and its functionality, but also to discuss the problems that the various cities

are experiencing in the management of the parking system. The high number of participants

demonstrated the strong interest in parking management in general and METROPARCO in

particular.

3. COLLABORATION EVENTS WITH OTHER EU PROJECTS

3.1. First Joint Collaboration Workshop

The MyWay project organised the collaboration workshop on 20 May 2015 at the Fraunhofer

FORUM in Berlin in the context of the international Smart City event "Metropolitan Solutions".

Participants of seven mobility projects collaborated in this workshop that was addressing the

RTD area of integrated personal mobility solutions, i.e.

MoveSmart

MoveUS

MyWay

Petra

Simpli-City

STREETLIFE

TEAM

The workshop aimed at enabling the exchange of information about ongoing activities and

developments in the participating projects, and at providing an information sharing platform

that will help dissemination and enhancement of results at individual project level as well as

facilitate potential future synergies.

3.1.1. Agenda

The agenda of the event is reported below. It contained three main blocks, a presentation of the

projects in order to introduce them to the participants, four short sessions on key topics and a

closing session to summarize the main findings of the discussions.

The following key topics were considered: pilot implementation (as most of the projects has to

perform pilots with end-users), crowd-sourcing of mobility information (as many projects

included such use-cases and components), questions towards the establishment of a Mobility

Service platform and the topic of private and public modes integration.

These topics of current relevance for the participants and projects have been agreed among the

projects commonly beforehand as potential areas for further joint investigation.

3.1.3. Summary

The presentations of the individual projects gave a good overview on their activities. It became

clear that the projects have many topics and components in common as e.g. crowd-sourcing.

But the technical solutions differ, since they were approached from different origins, have a

different focus and are exploited in diverse usage contexts.

The following list shows the key common topics emerged through the day and the interested

projects for each of it:

Topic Interested Project

Multimodal journey planning MyWay, MOVEUS, MoveSmart, PETRA, TEAM,

STREETLIFE

Incentives, rewards management, gami-

fication

It was agreed to continue the collaboration and information exchange. STREETLIFE proposed

to organize the next meeting. Possible venues will be searched in collocation with ITS

Bordeaux, in Bruxelles or in Italy (where most pilot trials were executed).

3.2. MoveUs Living Lab Workshop

The MoveUs Living Lab Workshop was organized by the MoveUs project on 1 October 2015

at the City of Tampere.

The approx. 30 participants of the workshop were from parties in Tampere which are active in

the Intelligent Transport Systems sector, namely Tampere ITS Factory member organizations

and companies including the STREETLIFE project.

The MoveUs project was presented in a generic level. Similar key words as in STREETLIFE

were used, e.g. data integration, mobile services and CO2 emissions reduction. The MoveUs

slides gave high level descriptions and no detailed technical information, for example about

interfaces.

An interesting fact is that MoveUs utilizes the Open Data API of the STREETLIFE multimodal

real-time trip planner in their mobile application for the MoveUs Tampere pilot, i.e. there is a

real technical link between the STREETLIFE and MoveUS Tampere pilots.

In the Tampere pilot of MoveUs, it is intended to plot the energy efficiency and carbon footprint

directly in the routing result of the mobile app. Weather situation, car model and other

parameters are to be taken into account for the calculation of these values. It is a slight different

approach as in the Tampere pilot of STREETLIFE, where a carbon footprint calculation

formula is used which was earlier defined in another EU project.

There was lively open discussion between all participants about the current Tampere traffic

situation, trends, plans and needs. All organizations and companies from ITS Factory were very

active.



3.3. Second Joint Collaboration Workshop

The STREETLIFE project organised the second joint collaboration workshop "On Piloting in

Sustainable Mobility Projects" which was held on 20 May 2015 at FBK premises in Trento,

Italy. Representatives of three European projects were participating at the meeting:

MoveUS

MyWay

STREETLIFE

All three projects were released under the same FP7 Call on Integrated Personalised Mobility

for Smart Cities – all of them of course with different focus. The project participant composition

of the Trento collaboration meeting with its focus on pilot-specific problems was set-up in such

way they had pilot cities in common. MoveUs and STREETLIFE comprise both a Tampere

Pilot, although topics, use-cases, and implementation timeline are differing. The same is valid

for the STREETLIFE and the MyWay project, who have a Berlin Pilot in common. On this

understanding, it was very interesting to figure out and exchange on the concrete focus points

of the pilots as well as exchanging on obstacles and positive outcomes regarding the specific

pilots and deployed components.

The workshop was seen as a follow-up meeting of the first joint collaboration workshop

organised by the MyWay project in Berlin in May 2015 on the topic of Integrated Personal

Mobility Solutions. As the "Pilot Implementation" had turned out as topic of high interest for

all projects that participated in May 2015 in Berlin, it was decided to put the accent here and

investigate this in the Trento workshop.

In particular, the following sub-topics have been identified and put on the agenda of the

workshop:

User engagement and participation: Solutions, success stories and lessons learnt

(e.g. incentive models, gamification) for the attraction, retention and continuous

engagement of end-users (citizens and mobility managers).

Tracking and itinerary adjustment: Solutions for tracking, monitoring, and

adapting travel itineraries taking into account real-time mobility information (e.g.

transport delays/cancellation, traffic, parking availability) as well as other relevant

information (e.g., weather, air pollution, special events) that might affect the

journey.

3.3.1. Agenda

The agenda of the event is described below. It contains of the two main sessions that have been

described above:

User engagement and participation in mobility pilots for Smart Cities

Tracking and itinerary adjustment.



The sessions were introduced by some few thematic slides. Each project gave a brief

presentation to the topic and after that, the discussion on the best practices took place. A brief

summary of the main findings of the discussions concluded the workshop.

3.3.3. Summary

In the first session User engagement and participation, there has been identified the following

challenges:

1) How to get the users actively participating and how to avoid retirement?

Possible solutions are:

Incentives

Gamification & Get outstanding user experience (why would they switch from

their existing mobility services to new ones?) Users are interested in games

only for a short time. There should be a value proposition.

Unique selling point, for example in Berlin, cycling offer something that is

unique.

Moving from the app to the transport environment

Finland promotes Open APIs. If third parties are using them, this would be an

added value.

Get an outstanding user experience

2) How to get real users?

How to scale up? To get the behavioral change the city is looking at.

Need to have someone who is good in communication to address the target

group properly.

Pay the user (through a recruitment company). It should be just a small

amount.

Students by getting rewards

Identify first adopters. Invite them.

3) How to measure engagement? How to get users to respond to such questionnaires?

How to measure and validate the experiment?

Comparing the behavior before using the tool and after

Incorporate the questionnaire in the app

Offer group discussions



Perform interviews

4) How to transform the research solution into the business solution?

Some win-win situations have been investigated by MoveUS, e.g. a best practice from

France:

Car Insurance companies lower the insurance rate significantly per day, if it is

proven, that the client uses sustainable modes of transport that day.

The government allows lowers taxes for the corresponding car driver insurance

at the same time.

The second session was devoted to Tracking & Itinerary adjustment. The following core

issues have been identified during the discussions:

User tracking & "rewards"

o Different levels of service

o Value added services, incentives, …

Purposes, goals (use cases)

o Itinerary validation

o Mobility behavior understanding (e.g. for a transport authority)

Primary use: online vs. offline (depends on use cases)

Validation

o Reliability / accuracy, quality, etc.

What data is collected

o Position (time, speed, bearing, …) detection, leg end point, mode detection,

buses as sensors to measure the street slippery, …

Involvement / role of the user

o Proactive, reactive (confirmations, rate travel experience, …)

o Passive (only detection by sensors)

Privacy and data security

o National regulations, liabilities (apps)

o Terms of usage

Technical background

o Models, enabling technologies (APIs of standard smartphone sensors)

o Interaction with local ITS applications (reliability of data is the real problem)

Application and validation in the LLs

o The extent to which services are running on client side, server side,

o Discussion about data volumes, buffering the data



o Issue related to the use of sensors, battery usage - this is a barrier.

Any other

o Challenge of data quality



4. CONCLUSIONS

This document describes the main collaboration events that have been undertaken by the

STREETLIFE project. These activities addressed the regional level as well as the international

cooperation with partners. The workshops comprised a broad range of topics. Some focused on

concrete exploitation of project results in the regions, some focused on figuring out common

approaches, similarities and obstacles to exchange experiences and learn from each other. In

those cases, they were driven by concrete seasonable project issues, like implementing and

managing the tracking or the user engagement and incentive policies.

The RTD workshops focused on regional players as e.g. the ITS Factory in Tampere or the

north-Italian mobility managers. These workshops were a useful tool to inform the relevant

people and to gather feedback from them.

Collaboration workshops with other European projects ensured that there was an intensive

exchange of experiences and knowledge about sustainable ICT solutions for smart cities across

Europe. These projects were (some of them from objective 6.6, FP7 Call 10):

MoveSmart

MoveUS

MyWay

PETRA

SIMPLI-CITY

STREETLIFE

TEAM.

From the beginning, the joint collaboration was considered as absolutely necessary and very

useful for the project work. Consequently, further collaboration in events and of course, new

project proposals ideas was discussed. Two joint workshops were organized and the projects

invited each other to further events as e.g. final workshops. The community of European

researchers on smart integrated sustainable mobility was extended throughout the activities.

Furthermore, it was expected that that new consortia for new projects can be formed on basis

of the actual collaborations.
