Agenda
• Why should we connect mobility services?
• The traveler’s view
• Mobility platforms as a digital infrastructure
• Digitalization in Mobility industries
• Summary

Mobility is fundamental to modern life…
Individual motor car traffic and Public Transport are
the most popular transport modes.
Modal share (by number of journeys):
• Berlin:
• Paris:
• Rome:
• Chicago:
Urban mobility demand is expected to triple by 2050

New mobility services have emerged, complementing
the classic transport modes.
Bike Sharing Car Sharing
Taxi Apps
EV Charging
Parking Payment Apps
Ride Sharing

Loads of mobility apps are available today.
Users ‘just need to download and register’.
How many apps will be
enough?
How do I find the right
app for my next trip?
Will all app providers deal
responsibly with my data?

Over the past years and months, mobility providers
have become more and more multi modal.

Travelers want real time information for all mobility
services - through one app or web site.
Schaufenster Berlin Brandenburg:
integration of real-time information from 15 service providers
Demo-App to demonstrate functionality –
Siemens focus is B2B platform

Travelers want to plan intermodal trips - optimized by
travel time, cost, distance or CO2 emissions.
Schaufenster Berlin Brandenburg:
intermodal route planning for road, PT, walk, and bike –
based on real-time information

Travelers also want to book cars, taxis, bikes or buy
tickets from the same app.

The traveler also wants cashless payments and
one invoice at the end of the month for all services.
 No cash during the journey
 Guaranteed Best Price
 One clearly laid-out invoice for all
mobility services
 Payment relationship with just one
trusted partner
 Data privacy assured through one
trusted mobility provider

Mobility providers want to manage service
subscriptions and share the revenue.
• Management of partner and service
subscriptions, product bundling
• Clearing and reconciliation of collected
revenues between the B2B partners
• Efficient load management due to
flexible pricing options, according to a
region’s transport strategy

For the Open Mobility Berlin project Siemens has
integrated data from some 15 different providers.

Three major IT trends have a strong impact on the
digital infrastructure for mobility services.
Cloud ComputingMobile Internet Internet of Things
• further increase of mobile devices
... more types and form factors
... more in absolute numbers
• personal usage of mobile devices
(unlike traditional computers) and
individual set of apps
• ubiquitous broadband internet
• data gathering platform with built-
in sensors
• precise positioning of user and
display on map
• computational power, storage,
middleware, or software
applications provided over
internet
• Clouds seamlessly scale to allow
optimally configured systems for
varying demand (e.g. morning and
evening traffic peak times)
• Cloud services are provided in a
pay-as-you-go manner, eliminating
significant upfront investment
SaaS
IaaS
PaaS
• field devices, sensors, actuators,
RFID tags, and (wireless)
communication embedded in
physical objects
... embedded in transportation
infrastructure like rail tracks,
interlockings, roads, bridges,
tunnels, charging posts, traffic
signals, variable message signs etc.
... embedded in vehicles using the
infrastructure such as trains, rail
cars, buses, trucks, passenger
cars, bikes,

Free floating car sharing is a great example for a
Mobile Internet / Internet of Things application.

As physical and the digital world become more
intertwined, traffic peaks in the physical world
translate into peak usage of IT resources.
Before and during the trip,
travelers are generating an ever increasing number of IT transactions, by...
...looking up how busy
the road is, and
checking if there are
any known incidents?
...checking
public
transport
schedules,
based on
real-time data
...buying
electronic
tickets
...finding,
booking, and
driving a car
sharing vehicle
...hailing a cab
...renting
a bike

Cloud computing exactly caters perfectly for varying
demand throughout the day, week, and year.
passenger car volume during a typical day (Berlin)
PT passenger volume during a typical day (Bonn)
Daily load curves show
typical demand patterns
Holidays, schedule changes, adverse weather, accidents, or major events
can bring real-world traffic and non-scalable IT systems to a halt.

Integrating mobility services from various providers
is beneficial for Travelers, Mobility Providers, and
Public Authorities alike.

Digitalization in Mobility industries is highly
disruptive, enabling new services and business
models.
• Urbanization, Sharing Economy, and Autonomous Driving are key trends for Mobility
 Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is the model of the future
 Integration of mobility services is beneficial for all stakeholders
• Digitalization is highly disruptive to the existing Mobility ecosystem
 Mobile Internet, Internet of Things, and Cloud Computing bring real value
 a scalable mobility platform will form the backbone of digital infrastructure
• New players like Car2Go, DriveNow, Google, Uber, Tesla are leveraging these
technologies heavily, and are already making impacts
 completely new services and business models are emerging
• Traditional players like main line and public transport operators, old-school Automotive
OEMs, taxi companies, road authorities, etc. are risking to be left behind
• Transport policies need to be adapted to create a suitable framework and ecosystem
