Green Mobility

Green Mobility is a new type of organisation platform for car pools. As a service on mobile end devices, such as mobile phones, Green Mobility evaluates current and short-term location, destination and context information from providers and seekers and assigns them to each other in ad-hoc carpools. Public transport is also included in the planning. The matching is short-term and up-to-date, so that even short journeys can be offered.

Our contribution to the Green Mobility project was the development of methods for mobile service-orientated architectures, which are used in the Green Mobility platform.
