SIGN-AIR platform´s architecture has been designed and partially developed based on a robust technological framework to facilitate automated, secure, and regulation-compliant data-sharing agreements between TSPs. The project has successfully implemented a contract generation part of the platform, enabling the automated drafting, negotiation, and enforcement of DSAs and SCs. This ensures seamless collaboration across transport modes while reducing administrative burdens. The next steps are to finalize the settlement and monitoring part of the data sharing.
Key achievements include the integration of 3 external modules to enhance multimodal operations:
- The design and implementation of the Multimodal Synchronization Module: This module calculates connectivity between transport services, generating optimized, single-ticket itineraries by assessing schedules and transfer times.
- The design of DMM: By leveraging real-time data, the DMM proposes intermodal rerouting options during disruptions, improving passenger experience and operational resilience.
- The design of TransiTool extension: This component enhances interoperability between IATA SSIM, GTFS, and NeTEx standards, ensuring harmonized data exchange among air, rail, and ground transport systems.
Additionally, the project validated key functionalities through testing activities, including the SIGN-AIR connectivity index, contract templating and negotiation mechanisms, and the integration of disruption detection with real-time event classification. These advancements collectively enhance the efficiency and reliability of multimodal travel, paving the way for scalable and standardized intermodal cooperation.
