Digital integration describes the effort of integrating information on one digital platform and making it possible for different information platforms to access information using a standard format. Through digital integration, users are able to easily access information provided by multiple providers in one place. Examples are travel planners that let users identify services provided by different providers or platforms that let users plan, book and pay for services of different providers in one application.
Levels
- Level 4: Integration of societal goals, policies and incentives – Local, regional, and/or national policies and goals are integrated into the service. Universal design principles are considered, including simple and intuitive app design and low-tech or analog booking alternatives
- Level 3: Integration of service offers – Shared and public transport services at the hub are bundled, possibly subscription-based. Universal design principles are considered, including simple and intuitive app design and low-tech or analog booking alternatives
- Level 2: Integration of booking and payment and universal design – Easy access to services for end users – such as a mobility marketplace or a one-stop shop where the user can find, book, and pay with the same app. Universal design principles are considered, including simple and intuitive app design and low-tech or analog booking alternatives.
- Level 1: Integration of information – Multimodal travel planners can be used to plan mobility offerings at hubs. Minimum inclusive design requirements are considered such as simple and intuitive app design.
- Level 0: No digital integration – No digital integration of shared and public transport mode options offered at the hub. There are separate services and platforms for each mode. No universal design criteria are required
