MASAI: Mobility based on aggregation of services and applications interconnection

Abstract

MASAI mission is to empower key stakeholders in the travel and tourism industry (Travelers, Concierges, Service Providers) in order to enable a seamless travel experience. The vision of MASAI is to satisfy the overall service needs demanded by mobile citizens: a tailor-made aggregation of features — a digital concierge in everyone's pocket. MASAI aims to serve: • All stages of the travel process, including changes in travelers' mobility patterns. • Long-distance travel as well as local travel including all related services (transportation, tourism, accommodation, events, …). • Customers travelling for business as well as for leisure purposes. The MASAI mission is made possible by creating an open ecosystem (“MASAI Mobility Community”) as a community openly delivering specifications, tools and know-how. MASAI community of stakeholders contributes continuously toward the development of the core elements of a network of digital concierges, one which allows for constant improvements and sustains future technical developments. MASAI implements, integrates and organizes the use of the most recent technologies to support such coherent and seamless use of the large diversity of applications available in the ecosystem of suppliers of services for mobility. MASAI verified, validated and evaluated the application of its solutions into the mobility ecosystem
