Smarter Together

This EU-funded VMZ project takes the case of Munich to show how to extract smart information from chaotic data flows: A platform collects, analyses, and evaluates in real-time selected data in the areas of smart city and mobility, visualizes it, and makes it available to the city administration as a basis for intelligent services and investments.

Mobility Display Frankfurt Airport

Frankfurt Airport is well-connected: there are many ways to continue travel after landing. Sixteen mobility displays developed and managed by the VMZ for Fraport AG show all ground connections: long-distance and regional trains, long-distance and city buses, carsharing and bikesharing services and even current travel times on surrounding highways.

Mobility Display Tegel Airport

Travelers arriving at Berlin’s Tegel Airport can quickly orient themselves on the ground thanks to 18 mobility displays helping them find their way. At baggage claims, bus bays, and rental car centers the monitors show maps of current traffic conditions, public transport departures, and a ticker with transportation disruptions. VMZ administers the displays on behalf of FFB Berlin Brandenburg Airports.

Virtual Infopanels in Braunschweig

In a mobile city, traffic information panels are no longer stationary: In Braunschweig the VMZ replaced two real panels with virtual ones in a pilot project for the municipal provider BELLIS. Data came from a Scala/Concert system. An app brings the information to the user’s smartphone as soon as he crosses geofencing triggerlines.

BerlinMobil

All transportation information for Berlin in real-time on your smartphone: The VMZ-developed free App BerlinMobil offers this and more. It also has a personal route planner: Users can decide if they want to arrive quickly, cheaply, or in an environmentally-friendly way.

EU Project DORA

The test case is Berlin to Palma de Mallorca: In the EU Project DORA the VMZ and prominent partners develop a door-to-door information service. The App shows the way from home to airport, in the airport to gate, and from arrival airport to destination. It delivers information on travel options, departure times and trip duration.

BIG IoT: Bridging the Interoperability Gap of IoT

The Internet of Things needs an open ecosystem for data flows. In the EU Project Big IoT an international team tests how this could work in the area of mobility. On board: the VMZ Berlin. We develop an app for commuters in the Berlin-Wolfsburg corridor and make our data accessible to other partners via the Big IoT Marketplace.

EU Project Molecules

For the EU Commission, the VMZ developed an information service on E-Carsharing together with Berlin’s city government, DriveNow and further partners. The innovative app integrates information on available electric cars and charging stations as well as real-time data on traffic conditions into an intermodal route planner. Browser-based versions were developed for Paris and Barcelona.
