SmartMMI-Leaflet: Analysis Results
This document presents the results of the analysis phase of the mFund cooperation project SmartMMI – Model and Context-based Mobility Information on Smart Public Displays and Mobile Devices in Public Transport. This publication serves as a basis for further work in the project and as a reference for follow-up projects as well as for possible projects with similar issues. During the analysis phase persona and scenarios were developed which were used to identify use cases. The results of these steps are described in this document. For the Persona, windows were built in. Results from the IP-KOM-ÖV project were used as a basis. We hope to achieve similar synergy effects with the results presented here.
SmartMMI presented on virtual IT-TRANS 2020
The SmartMMI research project “Model and context-based mobility information on smart public displays and mobile devices in public transport” was presented at the virtual trade exhibition IT-TRANS 2020 as part of a round table on December 3, 2020. In addition to the project presentation and the presentation of conducted user studies and their results, a lively discussion took place on how semi-transparent display panels can be used to strengthen the local retail trade. The international trade exhibition and conference took place between December 1 and 3 for the first time in online format. For all those who could not be there live, please find a video of the presentation below.
SmartMMI at the kick-off for the Baden-Württemberg Institute for Sustainable Mobility (BWIM)
On October 27, Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences (Hochschule Karlsruhe – Technik und Wirtschaft) opened the Baden-Württemberg Institute for Sustainable Mobility (BWIM), the only one of its kind in the state, together with Minister of Science Theresia Bauer and Minister of Transport Winfried Hermann. Under the motto “Together we’re simply better on the move”, the institute aims to make an important contribution to sustainable mobility and thus to climate protection in the state. The SmartMMI demonstrator and concepts from the current project were presented at the kick-off events.
SmartMMI Presentations at the INFORMATIK2020
Under the motto “Back to the Future”, the 50th annual conference of the Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI) took place between September 28 and October 2, 2020. The conference INFORMATIK2020 took place within the GI annual conference where the research project SmartMMI, its concepts and results were presented in a session and a workshop.
SmartMMI with four scientific contributions at the HCII 2020
SmartMMI presents 4 (four) scientific papers at the virtual international conference Human Computer Interaction International (HCII) 2020. The HCI is one of the largest conferences in the field of Human Computer Interaction. Due to the corona pandemic, this year’s conference did not take place in Copenhagen between 19 and 24 July as planned, but for the first time in its history completely online. The four scientific contributions reflect the current research focus of the project SmartMMI.
The evaluation of people’s mobility is crucial for understanding traffic, traffic security and the effects of traffic planning. In this paper, we present our toolbox for analyzing and evaluating aspects of different mobility modes. Some of these tools support the participation of road users in the analysis. The tools either can be applied to implement analyses for planning purposes or for the evaluation of implemented measures. Our goal is to improve the understanding of mobility in all its facets and ultimately to increase user comfort, safety and the overall user acceptance in urban mobility.
Passengers in public transport expect passenger information to be exact, timely and appropriate to their situation. Therefore, future passenger information systems should adapt to the passenger’s context as precisely as possible. In this paper, we present a context model and describe our architecture for an adaptive, multi-device passenger information system. We will also present adaptation scenarios that show the application of our context model.
User studies to evaluate public transport systems are often hard to set up. While field tests provide important insight into realworld usability of public transport systems, they are also complex and expensive. Especially in early development stages of public transport related systems, field tests are not appropriate. However, usability of public transport systems is often depending on “real-life” context factors that are hard to reproduce in lab-based user studies. We have developed a mockup of a tram or train compartment that can be flexibly used to create a public transport experience in user studies. In this paper we will describe our experiences and recurring challenges with user studies in public transport, the design and set-up of our mockup, as well as give an insight into its applications in studies we conducted and lessons we learned.
Adaptive passenger information for an enhanced mobility experience may be the next step towards a smart public transport. In our research project, we have developed a multi-device evaluation approach for adaptive passenger information systems of mobile public displays. An adaptive passenger information system needs to be aware of the passenger’s context. In order to fulfill this requirement, we use the passenger’s personal devices like smartphones or smart watches as context sources. In this paper, we describe our approach of a multidevice passenger information system evaluation focusing on privacy aspects. We present three different methods of pseudonyms that were used to visually link the personal information on passenger’s private devices with the displayed information on the public display. In addition, we report on our evaluation results from a user study evaluating the acceptance and the intelligibility of the used visual pseudonyms.

SmartMMI @mFUND exchange of expertise on passenger data and information

(Foto: Annette Hillebrand, WIK)



On 12 March the “mFUND exchange of expertise: passenger data and information” took place in the DB mindbox in Berlin. Under the title “SmartMMI – Passenger Information PLUS in Public Transport”, University of Applied Sciences Karlsruhe presented the project plan and the current progress of SmartMMI to the participants of the mFUND accompanying research. Together, the participants of the expert exchange discussed challenges and best practice examples for data acquisition and data protection in public transport. The exchange networks mFUND projects of similar topics and different project statuses, thus the individual research projects benefit from mutual experiences.
SmartMMI choosen by BMVI for the mFUND video series 2019/2020
The smart light rail window of the future!
A smart light rail window where passengers can find out where to interchange, whether their travel is running like planed or whether there is a disrubtion. Our SmartMMI project, sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI), was selected by the mFUND video series for funding in 2018/2019.
