Why WizGo
We recognize the importance of public transport in urban mobility. However, there are challenges affecting its usage, such as safety concerns, limited reporting mechanisms, and the impact of global events like Covid-19.
These factors have led to a decrease in public transport usage, resulting in increased traffic congestion and emissions. Moreover, the lack of citizen feedback and co-development has hindered the progress of our urban environment.
To address these issues, we have developed WizGo to connect passengers and foster ad-hoc commmunities in public transport.
Technology
WizGo is powered by a ground-breaking mobile technology in ad-hoc, gps-based user spaces. These spaces group users together as they enter and leave a defined area, such as a metro stop or a traincar. User accounts are kept private until opting in to connect, and afterwards are able to rate each other to police the safety of the community.
Through our platform, passengers can report issues to each other and transport providers, create a supportive environment, and build trust using rating mechanisms.
WizGo also leverages analytics to stimulate behavior change among users.
In return, cities and transport providers gain real-time insights into passenger perceptions of safety and can make use of new, dynamic feedback channels.
Pilots - Proof of Concept
Pilot Project in Split
In Split, we rolled out our groundbreaking "CONNECT" feature, designed to foster seamless connections among commuters while waiting at bus stops, all in the name of elevating the overall feeling of security. The pilot project is tested by 300 users, comprised of 70% students and daily work commuters, and spans various periods including evenings, daytime, and rush hour, ensuring comprehensive feedback.
Questionnaires will also provide valuable insights on public transport security sentiments and app feature preferences.
Pilot Project in Istanbul
Our pilot project in Istanbul is set to focus on increasing security and gathering valuable feedback along the historic tram line T1 in Istanbul's peninsula which serves tourists, commuters, and students. Through the implementation of the innovative "CONNECT" feature, we aim to ensure a safer journey within the tram line, while the introduction of the "REPORT" feature allows users to provide feedback on the transport system and environment. With a duration of up to 6 days, we anticipate the participation of approximately 400-800 individuals, who will share their satisfaction, feelings of security, and preferences through initial and exit questionnaires.
Pilot project in Berlin
Our first live test took place in Berlin on 29 July 2021 along the S46 Sbahn line between Südkreuz and Adlershof. A total of 122 participants took part, testing the technical functionalities of the app. WizGo collected results on the app's accuracy, reliability, and user movement data. The results of the data gave a precise overview that public transport can increase its attractiveness if it includes digitalization and passenger participation in addressing the sense of safety.
Let's stay connected
Since 2019, we have been marketing this digital solution and sharing our knowledge in consultations to create a transport system of trust. We are proudly a part of the IMPACTS Projects Group in collaboration with EIT Urban Mobility, Nexus Institute, and the Technical University of Berlin. Reach out and follow us to continue the dialogue of making sustainable urban mobility a reality.
