How to build an intermodal route planner with ten hands and six months?
What if the 4 Belgian Public Transport Operators (PTO) were teaming up with a technical partner to deliver a unique open-source intermodal route planner? And what if that route planner was providing real-time information to daily travellers? Well, the dream has come true and is now delivering its first results!
In this session, you'll learn what it takes to develop an open-source solution, how we believe it is a critical step for our mobility ecosystem and what you can concretely expect from it.
