Overview
Background & policy context:
Service systems have often been restricted to one application and/or operator, which creates difficulties from the service-access standpoint. The key innovative element of COMPOSE is overcoming obstacles connected to proprietary systems and solutions, by designing a novel system based upon open standards interfaces/protocols and easy-to-use User Terminals, and conceived for the integration of a wide range of info-mobility services provided through a single access point.
Objectives:
The objectives of the COMPOSE project were:
- definition, study, and specification of an advanced service scenario and the relevant system architecture;
- demonstration of the above service scenario by way of an innovative telecommunication infrastructure;
- development of ad hoc mobile user terminal as part of the COMPOSE Demonstrator;
- development of specialised 3D application that will be used for service demonstrations;
- development of the Service Centre of the COMPOSE Demonstrator;
- execution of trial campaign;
- elaboration of market perspectives analysis;
- dissemination of achieved results, to support concertation actions and to contribute in the standardisation process;
- development of the applications for the deployment of COMPOSE services. These services are grouped into pre-trip, in-car and last-mile services.
Methodology:
The COMPOSE methodology encompassed the following activities:
-
User Analysis and Identification of Info-Mobility Services
Identification of the value-added infomobility services adequate to fulfil user needs and technical and economic requirements. -
Demonstrator System & Services Requirements Definition
Identification and definition of infomobility services for travellers tailored to user needs, technology (positioning and communication), and business constraints in terms of functional modules architecture, service Value Chain, M-Commerce, and M-Work. -
Demonstrator Design & Development
Real test bed, built up by exploiting existing facilities and performing new developments where required, for validating the technical feasibility of the target system. -
Trial Campaign & Result Evaluation
Trials carried out in the field, for proving the realised Demonstrator and validating user benefits and acceptance, and market opportunities of the provided services. -
Market Study, Cost/Benefit Analysis & Business Model Identification
Market and business analyses for the COMPOSE solution, focused on two target customer profiles: consumer market and professional users. A preliminary market and cost analysis was conducted at the beginning of the project in parallel with the User Analysis and Identification of Info-Mobility Services to identify value-added info-mobility services adequate to fulfil not only user needs and technical requirements but also economic requirements. -
