data unlocks new business for airports and bus/train stations

National and regional airports already use PlanetOptim.future to predict new routes and partnerships between airlines based on big data. PlanetOptim.future will analyse the opportunity for connecting flights among the roster of airlines and proactively pitch new routes to existing or potential airline partners. Airports can therefore better market their assets and attract new airlines.

But PlanetOptim.future is not limited to airports. The owners of train and bus/coach stations can equally analyse the timetable of companies which already use their infrastructure – or which could be invited to use their infrastructure – to identify potential collaborations. Prime examples are when inter-city transport can collaborate with local-transport, or when north-south routes can collaborate with east-west routes. Both these examples help turn a simple station into a transport hub.

Milanamos is working towards enabling strategic partners in multimodal ventures to securely share data, share revenue and develop shared apps. For example, an airport or smart city could develop an app which showed local intermodal train/bus connections, and onward multimodal plane/train/coach connections. Milanamos could be the backbone to this kind of application to ensure that the transport options offered deliver the best value to the Consumer.

In addition to creating more demand for travel services, multimodal and intermodal travel options can also lead to more use of public transport. Where the airport, train or bus operators have a green agenda, multimodal transport can help them to reach their targets.
