OJP4Danube — Project Implementation Activities by ATE, Vienna, Austria
D.T1.3.1 – National (organisational) Action Plans
The activity will result in one action plan per country. The topics of the National Action plans include the current situation in the partner countries and the political attitude towards OJP. In addition, the partners provide insight into their countries' plans for the implementation of OJP and the systematic roll out of implementation. The deliverables shape a basis for the workshop (D.T4.3.1) and the output (O.T1.2).
D.T3.4.1 – Report on Demonstration and Evaluation
D.T.3.4.1 is part of WP T3 - Pilot – Cycling and multimodal journeys. It will summarize the activities carried out (methods and tools used) and their results. The deliverable will thus show to which extent the objectives (use cases) have been met. There will also be insights into the quality of the developed service.
D.T4.3.1 – Concept for the Inter-organisational Learning Session
This deliverable is part of WP T4 - Transfer of insights and support of future users. In D.T4.3.1, the concept for a workshop is outlined. It has the purpose of presenting the existing experiences with the OJP implementation and deriving best practice examples. D.T1.3.1 and O.T1.2 shape the basis for this workshop. It will take place on October 7th, 2022, Vienna, together with the 5th and last SCOM.
O.T1.2 - Organisational Action Plans for OJP Deployment in the Operative Environment (for AT, SK, SI, HU, RO, CZ)
This output is a more aggregated version of D.T1.3.1 and puts the Action plans into context. It compiles all six Action plans, summarizes the current situation of each partner country, and gives insight into plans towards OJP implementation. The output will also outline valuable lessons learned and “best practice” examples.
OJP4Danube — Project Enhancement at the University of Zilina (UNIZA), Zilina, Slovakia
Intending to ensure a continuation of the successful implementation of the OJP4Danube project, the UNIZA team actively contributed to supporting the project coordinator, WP, and task leaders with implementing the project activities. Apart from performing routine administrative and financial duties of the project, UNIZA technically assisted ATE, task leader, in demonstrating and evaluating pilot service within task A.T3.4 “Demonstration and evaluation of pilot service.” Furthermore, relevant inputs to A.T4.2 “Webinar/Academic courses on OJP” were provided by UNIZA to develop a course syllabus, including the necessary knowledge on the OJP approach and the related standards.
In parallel with implementing scheduled activities within technical WPs, the project communication team based at UNIZA made a considerable effort to promote and disseminate the project activities and results by participating in notable promotional events and updating available practices and project channels for communication and dissemination. For instance, the UNIZA team planned and submitted a Special Interest Session (SIS) proposal entitled “Speeding up European integrated multimodal journey planning” to the European ITS Congress 2022. After receiving the confirmation from the event organizer, UNIZA, with the support of project partners and invited experts, hosted the session at European ITS Congress in Toulouse in May-June 2022. Moreover, in close collaboration with researchers from partner organizations, UNIZA successfully submitted a conference paper entitled “Enabling multimodal cross-border trip planning in the EU: Learnings from the Interreg OJP4Danube project” to the Transport Research Arena (TRA) conference, which will be held in Lisbon in November 2022. This conference publication has been accepted for presentation at this conference.
Effective collaboration between UNIZA and project partners resulted in developing the following deliverables:
D.T1.3.1 National (organizational) Action plans
UNIZA supported ZSSK with developing the deliverable D.T1.3.1 “National (organizational) action plans (Slovakia)” which is a basis for Output T1.2 “Action Plans for OJP,” and this output will be used in WPT4 for the transfer of knowledge.
D.T3.4.1 Report on demonstration and evaluation
UNIZA contributed to implementation of the task A.T3.4 “Demonstration and evaluation of pilot service” led by ATE and preparation of the D.T3.4.1 “Report on demonstration and evaluation,” including test case templates for subcontractor (A.T3.4).
D.T4.3.1 - Concept for the inter-organisational learning session
UNIZA also contributed to the deliverable D.T4.3.2 by providing relevant inputs and preparing the webinar/academic course (webcast-video training) entitled “Assessment of local journey planners, use cases definition and UI design.”
OJP4Danube — Successful System Interconnection Testing according to the OJP4Danube Specification at the University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia
As part of the project to implement the National Access Point for the exchange of data on multimodal travel and to establish a route guide in the Republic of Croatia (Hrvatske ceste Ltd), system interconnection testing was successfully carried out according to the OJP4Danube specification. The specification was developed to connect transnational, multimodal travel information and route planning for environmentally friendly mobility in the Danube Region and is harmonized with the corresponding specifications at the European level.
As a partner in the project, the Faculty of Transport Sciences of the University of Zagreb (Intelligent Transport Systems Department - ZITS) is in the final phase of implementing the project OJP4Danube - Coordination mechanisms for a multimodal cross-border traveler information network based on OJP for Danube Region. The project's goal is to develop a multimodal cross-border passenger information network that connects local and regional public transport networks with the main traffic corridors, which will be enriched with bicycle routes and bicycle travel information necessary for multimodal trips. Within this project, an advanced technical specification is being developed for connecting transnational, multimodal travel information and route planning for environmentally friendly mobility in the Danube Region.
In the meantime, Hrvatske ceste d.o.o. initiated the project of establishing a National Access Point for the exchange of data on multimodal travel and establishing a route guide in the Republic of Croatia. The Faculty of Transport Sciences made a significant contribution to the preparation of this project, especially in terms of its harmonization with the objectives of the OJP4Danube project. The operational implementation was entrusted to the companies Ericsson Nikola Tesla and Realis - information technology d.o.o. (Slovenia).
As part of the project implementation of the National Access Point for the exchange of data on multimodal travel and establishing a route guide in the Republic of Croatia, connectivity testing of the newly implemented system (Phase 1) was performed according to the OJP4Danube specification. The connectivity testing of the two systems was successfully realized, confirming the technical prerequisites for implementing the OJP4Danube service. Successful implementation of the API according to the OJP4Danube specification has been demonstrated. With this step, the responsible stakeholder in the Republic of Croatia, Croatian Roads Ltd, took the first step towards full integration. The activities include collecting various multimodal data, preparing exchange points for public transport, data for bicycle transport and harmonizing this data with other partners.
