Enable your mobile app for next generation ticketing
Next generation ticketing does not need any additional infrastructure or active user interaction. It is based on smartphones and requires reliable capture of mobility data. With AIT´s software solution MODE, data such as used means of transport, transfer points and routes can be gathered automatically and precisely in the background.
MODE - the software Solution for capturing different modes of transport
MODE is based on many years of R&D work
Besides GPS and other localizing functions, smartphones provide sensor-based acceleration data for determining the means of transport. Combined with GIS data, time schedule and real-time information of the public transport system, MODE thus enables an autonomous ticketing solution without additional infrastructure or user interaction.
Eight different means of transport
MODE distinguishes between eight different means of transport: bicycle, motorcycle, car, bus, tram, subway, railway and walking. The smartphone-based data is transmitted to a server where the MODE algorithm creates a reliable and detailed trip information.
MODE can easily be integrated
The MODE software components (client and backend) can easily be integrated into various existing ticketing applications and platforms, considering specific customer requirements and interfaces. It forms the ideal basis for autonomous ticketing solutions for public transport operators and mobility providers.
The Benefits
- No user-interaction necessary
- No additional infrastructure required (e.g. Bluetooth beacons)
- Automatic differentiation between eight means of transport
- Detailed, reliable trip information
- Simple integration into existing ticketing applications
- Battery-saving operation (no continuous GPS required)

Top Rated at SHL Challenge
At the Sussex-Huawei Locomotion Transportation Recognition Challenge 2018 in Singapore, AIT’s solution was second to none in detecting changes between means of transport and achieved the excellent fourth place overall. In addition, the AIT model requires the shortest training time and by far the least storage space. This allows mobile implementations and provides an optimal basis for autonomous ticketing solutions.
