TOPIC DESCRIPTION
#EDIT16 Ljubljana, July 11-22, 2016
Crowdsourcing Platform for Bike Sharing
When combining the concepts of sustainability and smart mobility, shared bike services come up. Ljubljana already possesses a well-developed bike sharing system with a large group of users. Bikes can be picked up at one point and left at another in exchange for a small fee. This type of service reduces harmful effects on the environment and paves the way for the development of sustainable cities
This year’s Summer School was all about creating a platform for crowdsourcing operational tasks such as bike relocations between stations. Students were given the task of creating an engaging App with backend for crowd relocation of bikes using state-of-the-art technologies.
Domains: Mobility as a Service (MaaS), Predictive analytics, Big data
Technologies: HTML5, Angular JS, Node.js, MongoDB, REST, Hadoop, Spark
Environments: Cloud, Native mobile apps, Web
#EDIT16 Ljubljana (business analytics), July 18-29, 2016
Next Generation Mobility Services
The first generation of Mobility Services has already been created and spans car sharing, ride sharing, shuttle services, private drivers and public transportation. However, we are still far away from a smart, well deployed and integrated Mobility solution for the public transport.
Our summer school examined the next generation of Mobility services. Students were encouraged to identify gaps in the current transportation and to come up with an integrated Mobility service approach. To achieve this, they were familiarized with emerging technologies such as Predictive analytics and Peer2Peer Business.

- User interface for both advertisers and employees who supervise the submission process of ads
- A rule engine to select ads based on user interest and collected data
