The document describes a proposed transportation platform called nimble that uses IoT and RFID technologies to track public transportation routes and provide personalized recommendations. Nimble collects data from passive RFID tags, smart cards, and APIs to visualize users' journeys and give them the best route options based on their needs. The platform aims to shift people away from car dependency by making mixed-model and public transport more seamless and appealing.

1. team bold

2. the future
The IoT will be in full
force, devices now talk
to each other and make
automated decisions.
The Japanese Kuruma
Banare (de-motorization)
will become an
international trend.
The future won’t be
about either/or, more
like a mix of everything!

3. The Internet
of Things
RFID signals
will be transmitted from
virtually anything
RFID reader
picks the signal up and
relays it to the web
web
analyses the data
travel
decisions are made

4. Unreliable Public Transport in Greater
Manchester and loads of meaningless
and useless data streams.

5. People want to feel free when
traveling from point A to B

7. nimble is a data
visualization-bot that
tracks your journey and
collects information from
different sources to give
you the best route,
personalized to you needs.

9. Passive RFID tags turn on when in proximity with most
smart phones, this is the foundation of all RFID-based
transactions.

stage 1: Data gathering

10. Smart Cards are set to come out
soon, equipped with RFID
technology, which can be read by
most NFC enabled smartphones.
This is how your nimble is activated:
1. Swipe your smartphone on the
Smart Card
2. nimble is launched
3. You select the route/transport
you’re interested in

11. 4. nimble gets the relevant data and visualizes your route.
It can even tell you how many seats are available!

15. Mixed-model transport is embraced and
nimble evolves from a journey data
visualization tool into a lifestyle platform.

18. Through the internet of things
our devices will start
communicating to each other.
Self monitored info, it will
all be connected.
Kuruma Banare is a reality and
mixed transportation is the norm.
Manchester is a greener
city with more active and
healthy citizens.

20. So how can we make the future happen
FASTER?

21. RFID tags switch on when in proximity with a smartphone
or GSM phone. So, what if we crowd source that energy?

22. We can build an
RFID network
created by the
people for the
people.

23. how does it work?
Bus stops are
embedded with
read-write RFID
Passengers swipe
their phone when
the bus arrives.
The info is uploaded
into the platform.
The data is
visualized to keep
track of the bus.
