What is the Unigo project?

Unigo analyses transport patterns on the Álava Campus and translates this into a reference app for young students travelling to university:

1. It integrates information published as institutional open data

2. It supplements this data with transport options by bus, bicycle and scooter

3. It contributes to the modelling of the public transport network in Vitoria-Gasteiz

4. Provides information accessible via web tools and the app

The challenge: making it easier to access the campus

Students need easy, centralised access to up-to-date information on the various transport options for travelling to the Álava Campus.

  • Transport information spread across different sources

  • Difficulty in comparing transport options

  • Lack of a tool specifically designed for the university environment

  • Need for access to timetables and locations

Project focus

Unigo tackles students’ mobility challenges through a digital tool that brings together information on different transport options for travelling to the Álava Campus.

  • Reuse of institutional open data
  • Integration of multimodal information
  • Development of web tools and apps

This approach makes it easier to access transport information and helps students make more informed choices when travelling to campus:

  • We centralise transport information from various sources
  • We make it easier to compare travelling by bus, bicycle, scooter and on foot
  • We provide university students with timetables, locations and routes
  • We generate useful information to analyse transport issues and support decision-making

Aims of the project

  • 1

    Designing a new charging infrastructure

  • 2

    Optimising energy management

  • 3

    Promoting the uptake of electric vehicles

  • 4

    Developing new business models

  • 5

    Carrying out large-scale validation across Europe
