“By 2025 we will double the amount of public transit users”, says UITP (the international organisation for public transport). This is a noble goal that is great food for thought. Not only different transport networks will need to connect flawlessly, also social networks, GPS systems, calendars and publicly available data can be integrated to provide a networked mobility experience, leading to a more diverse use of transport. iRail is a non profit organisation, with a board consisting of Yeri Tiete, Sacha Schmitz and Pieter Colpaert. The goal of the organisation is summarized by these 4 bullet points: * Support digital creativity with a touch of mobility (cf. iRail Summer of code), * Sustain and aggregate open data concerning mobility (like public transport) to offer an easy-to-use webservice for all third-party applications, * Being a living lab/incubator for start-up ideas to become spin-offs and * Copyright management for open-source projects.
