Summary

HSL Navigator is an idea of open source project, aiming to produce mobile step by step navigation service to cyclists and public transport passengers. Also, this will be a test how to create public service, based on open source development, open data and crowdsourcing.

Concept idea

Public transport users have mobile services but there is not a single service that covers all information needs on every step of one journey. Passengers and also cyclists needs a service that gives information and reliability in all situations. It has to work like a car navigator, user can just go out without pre-planning and trust he/she will get seamlessly into destination even there might be traffic disruptions or planned changes. .... Journey plannel like route search. Disruption info Re routing Image, augmented reality, voice signals, speech
