Abstract

Real-Time Travel Information (RTTI) for rail commuters is still used inefficiently today and is rarely combined with other knowledge to come to a truly personalised and situation-aware multimodal travelling assistance. It is up to the travellers themselves to look for important info about their trip through static schedules or dedicated non-personalised applications. In a highly dynamic context such as that of public transportation, it would make life easier if one was able to consult the right information at the right time (removing superfluous information), for a variety of multimodal public transportation options, taking into account the context of the person travelling. In this paper we present the LimeDS framework, allowing application developers to rapidly define data workflows from a variety of data sources, deploy these workflows in a scalable and resilient manner and expose results to client applications as REST endpoints. A Proof-of-Concept (PoC) shows how our proposed framework can be used to tie together different open transportation data sources in order to create highly dynamic multimodal travel assistance applications by semantically enriching the data into knowledge, checking for ontological consistency and reason over the resulting knowledge.
