The presentation included a call to test the data set algorithms, which are available from the MobilityData GitHub, to consolidate the collected data. Kisio, Paris council, and Transilien (SNCF group) presented Go Deeper Paris at the Autonomy trade fare on October 16 in Paris, and spoke at the round table on “New mobility data: challenges, governance, benefits”, under the theme “Data and Connectivity” on Thursday October 17 at 10:25 am on Stage 2 – Industry Talks. MobilityData provides an overview for a specific project, just like Go Deeper Paris, that goes beyond the specific needs of Public Transport Authorities, service providers and passenger information applications, to implement a data format, GTFS-Pathways for this project, that will be used internationally.” “Go Deeper Paris is the perfect example of successful collaboration for high quality data collection and use for which both actors – Kisio and Google – brought their own reflections on user needs. We hope this progress will help to accelerate the collection of this type of data in many cities.” Publishing data files in open data format should accelerate innovation and its integration in search engines. The application provides tools to enable all Public Transport Authorities to collect valuable data, especially for passengers who need extra help. “The Go Deeper Paris project is a major step forward in improving user experience for all search engines.

How to gather quality data with the least possible use of resources.Ĭoncrete results were achieved during the pilot phase:Ī GTFS Ile-de-France data set dated May 2019, which includes accessibility data for Réaumur Sébastopol and Saint-Lazare / Haussmann stations, available online.įlower: a dedicated application to industrialize data collection.ĭavid O’Neill, Kisio Analysis & Consulting Executive Director:
How to integrate signage for connections, entrances and exits in the digital format. The level of accuracy needed to illustrate in-station routes. Types of uses available with GTFS-Pathways data.Įspecially for people with reduced mobility (physical disability or visual impairment, luggage, strollers, problems negotiating steps, stress, foreign language, etc.). The result of the new standard will improve mobility for eco-responsible passengers through access to consolidated, seamless and reliable information for all travel platforms.įour main features were tested in the pilot project: MobilityData, the new GTFS-Pathways format creator, was also involved in the project to promote the extended data format. In 2019, Kisio and Google Maps ran a pilot test in two Paris metro stations (Saint Lazare/Haussman and Réaumur-Sébastopol) to digitally illustrate the inside of transit stations and restore usable data. However, current transit data formats do not take a range of criteria into account, such as actual travel time, level of accessibility, platform location, and if there is an escalator, etc. The GTFS (General Transit Feed Specification) data standard created in 2006 by Google is used by most of the world’s route planner applications. Once accessibility data has been processed through an algorithm, routes can be calculated more precisely, especially routes inside stations.Īnd that is why, Kisio, a mobility pioneer which meets new digital technology and regional data challenges, joined forces with Google Maps in the “Go Deeper Paris” project to improve the travel experience for passengers with reduced mobility.ĭuring the “Go Deeper Paris” project, MobilityData gathered the different actors together, including Google and Kisio, to streamline, finalize and officially adopt the new format.
New information had to be gathered to enable route search engines to guide passengers more precisely and improve their travel experience. How can I take a metro ride when I can’t go up more than seven steps at a time? Which entrance should I take when I have a stroller? How do I know which way to go in a big station I don’t know well? These situations are frequently encountered by passengers.
Improving passenger experience with new data Mobility services pioneer, Kisio, spoke about the project during a “Data and Connectivity” round table on Octoat 10:25am on Stage 2 – Industry Talks. Kisio and MobilityData revealed “Go Deeper Paris”, their partnership with Google Maps, during Autonomy, an international sustainable mobility solutions trade fair at the Grande Halle de la Villette, Paris, from October 16 – 17 2019. The aim of this new venture is to present transit station data as open data and restore adapted routes for people with reduced mobility.
