Init to deliver booking platform for Karlsruhe's Regiomove project

Init will deploy its Mobilevario booking platform to help integrate mobility services in the Karlsruhe Technology region over the next few years as part of the German city's Regiomove project, valued €6.6m (£5.8m). The plan will pool available services at a range of mobility ports with the intention of enabling passengers to switch between different modes of transport easily.

511 Init will deploy its Mobilevario booking platform to help integrate mobility services in the Karlsruhe Technology region over the next few years as part of the German city's Regiomove project, valued €6.6m (£5.8m). The plan will pool available services at a range of mobility ports with the intention of enabling passengers to switch between different modes of transport easily.

The solution's open application programming interfaces are said to allow seamless integration of the data and systems from different partners. Its modular construction is said to provide a cost-effective solution that allows coordination to take place in a handheld form at the company's headquarters in the city.

Other companies and institutions involved in the project include the Karlsruher Verkehrsverbund, the Regionalverband Mittlerer Oberrhein, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, the Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences, the Forschungszentrum Informatik, raumobil, Planung Transport Verkehr and stadtmobil CarSharing. It also features the City of Karlsruhe and the District of Rastatt.

Jürgen Greschner, Init CEO, said: “Mobility concepts made in Karlsruhe are in high demand all over the world. The pool of in-depth expertise from research, industry, and transportation companies, combined with the support of political bodies, has created a unique ecosystem for mobility innovation. These form the ideal foundations for Regiomove. This flagship project will substantially influence not only the future of mobility in our country, but far beyond.”

When considering the ideal sensing and monitoring system to enable the ITS sector to deliver improvements in mobility and road safety, for general policing security and border protection, we have to think beyond radar-base systems or laser scanners. What is needed today are solutions for detecting and tracking vehicles while recording evidence to deacide if any action is necessary. There is no sole sensor capable of
