Budapest

Selected KPIs

• +2 new datasets available

• +2 new features available in BudapestGO

• +100 000 trips using shared modes

Objective

Budapest is committed to the development of its public transport towards multimodal regional ITS by expanding the current BudapestGo.

Use Case 1

Multimodal connectivity and route planning integration with BudapestGO 

Cluster: Multimodality  

 

The Budapest use case aims to develop a flexible, multimodal route planning system integrated with the BudapestGO platform. 

 

This includes: 

 

  • Flexible, multi-modal route planning: Incorporating prediction and planning models for various transport modes. 
  • Connecting providers: Establishing direct connections between first and last mile solution providers and BudapestGO, without integrating booking. 
  • UrbanPulse integration: Linking UrbanPulse and other data sources, using BudapestGO as a data source to enhance predictions and analyses. 
  • Integrated data space: Developing a local integrated data space linked with the EMDS system. 

 

This initiative will create a robust multimodal route planning system, transitioning to UrbanPulse for planning while keeping the payment processing at BudapestGO.  

 

Background: 

This use case focuses on enhancing the BudapestGO mobility app and Urban Pulse open data platform to support multimodal regional Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). Currently, BudapestGO manages all transport-related issues with real-time data and a user-friendly interface, serving 120,000 active users monthly, while UrbanPulse integrates data from over 120 sources, providing accessible and competitive public transport as well as enabling seamless cross-border mobility remains a challenge. 

Use Case 2

MaaRLIM – Mobility as a Right for people with mobiLity Impairment 
Cluster: Speciality Travel Information 

 

The use case aims to develop a service integrating personal mobility data and accessibility features with the goal to support multimodal mobility services for individuals with limited mobility. 

 
This includes: 

  • Data integration: Incorporating personal mobility skills data, helper information, and special maps with the existing data space. 
  • Accessibility features: Extending the data space to include equipment accessibility details. 
  • Service development: Creating a system for organising and managing multimodal mobility services securely. 

 

This initiative will empower cooperation agreements with Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and data providers to ensure data integrity and volunteer training, ultimately enhancing mobility options for people with limited mobility through advanced data integration and resource scheduling. 

 

Background: 

The goal is to improve transport options for people with reduced mobility in Budapest and its suburban areas. Currently, urban mobility for disadvantaged people faces significant challenges, with only limited and expensive solutions available for those who cannot travel independently. The city’s administration aims to address this by developing a complex service integrating IT solutions and human support to meet the growing demand for assistance, especially among the elderly. Privacy concerns and the lack of standardised descriptions of conditions pose additional challenges for implementing effective support services.
