​

Urban mobility challenges are complex and involve many different aspects. A central issue is the management of<br> mobility data in the cities, lacking a common structure for multimodal data and access interfaces to the data. The<br> European Commission initiatives such as the ITS Directive 2010/40/EU and the Implementing Decision 2016/209<br> established some lines along which these issues should be addressed. A special focus is put on the Multimodal<br> Information Services and Systems (MISS).<br> The HARMONY project is a CEF joint initiative by Indra and the Technical University of Madrid, created as a<br> direct continuation of other urban mobility European efforts. It focuses on the promotion of multimodality, while<br> improving efficiency in the use of the available network capacity. A pilot with the involvement of a public transport<br> operator INTER-BUS, road traffic authorities and service providers is already under way in the northeast part of<br> Madrid.<br> The different use cases considered in the project are:<br> • Public Transport fleet management. Addresses the integration of static and real-time public transport<br> information, and the potential exchange of this information to third parties. This currently involves the<br> implementation of solutions based on GTFS, GTFS-RT and SIRI.<br> • Urban Traffic monitoring. Addresses the integration and exchange of information on road incidents<br> between operators, and again the provision of this information to third parties. This involves the<br> implementation of solutions based on DATEX II.<br> • Transit information provision. The key aspect here is the provision of real-time information to public<br> transport passengers and mobility users in general. Several solutions are being currently investigated.<br> HARMONY is aligned in time and objectives with some of the aspects highlighted by the European Commission<br> in the field of urban mobility, and with the corresponding efforts in different ISO and CEN standardization groups.<br> The added value of the project should be the progress in the identification of the particularities of each city and<br> their impact on the specification and deployment of urban mobility solutions.
