Key element of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is that MaaS operators can aggregate solutions of multiple transport companies to deliver dynamic, transparent multi-modal travels to their users, who experience transportation as managed directly by a single operator. To enable MaaS, within the Smart Mobility for All EIT Project, we created SMAll, a platform (and its related wiki) where providers of transport solutions can trade their information as well as other services for mobility, like booking, payment, and travel assistance, on demand.

SMAll includes the latests technologies in terms of provision, deployment, scaling, and maintenance of applications: microservices and containerisation. In addition, SMAll supports the creation of a federation-based MaaS market, where a SMAll instance is a hub for local (e.g., city-wide) transport operators and geographically sparse SMAll instances can federate to form a global market for MaaS.

To test SMAll, we also implemented pilots within the platform, collaborating with the Department of Transportation of Emilia-Romagna region, Lepida S.c.p.A., and Fondazione Bruno Kessler.
