Definitions Application Programming Interface: it is a set of routines, protocols, and tools for building software applications. An API specifies how software components interacts, encompasses operations, inputs, outputs and defines specific functionalities. Compatibility: the general ability of a device or system to work with another device or system without modification. Continuity of services: the ability to ensure seamless services on transport networks across the Union. Interface: connecting tool between the different components of the system that allow the interaction between the set of services supported by the system, through information exchange. A user interface consists of the set of dials, operating system commands, graphical display formats, and other devices provided by the system to allow the user to communicate and use the all system components and services. Interoperability: the capacity of systems and the underlying business processes to exchange data and to share information and knowledge in order to deliver new services or extend existing ones. Journey: travel solution that the system has to plan under the request of the user and which must include specific information like point and date of departure and destination, specific transport modes, price. Leg: movement of the user from the point A to the point B that involves the use of a single mean of transport. Multimodal travel information and planning services (MMTIPs): Information that allow travellers and travel buyers / retailers to plan their journey from A to B comparing different travel options combing different variations of transport modes. MMTIPs may include a combination of two or more of the following transport modes which might be used by a traveller: air, rail, waterborne, coach, public transport, walking and cycling. Such services can allow the traveller to receive personalised routing results according to their specific travel preferences or needs including the fastest route, the cheapest route, the fewest connections, the most environmentally friendly, the most accessible for persons with reduced mobility etc. or simply a routing result based on the transport mode(s) they wish to use (i.e. cycling or public transport). Multimodal travel information services: services that can be delivered to users through a variety of channels. Whilst there remains a portion of users who prefer to access information through staffed-services such as telephone advice lines or walk- in travel centers, the majority of these services are now provided online via browsers and also mobile phone applications. Information is provided by a range of organisation types including transport operators, transport authorities, public sector initiatives and private sector technology companies. Passenger Description Code: a series of codes that determines the passenger type (Adult, Child etc.) for pricing, rebates and discounts. Processed data: collected and manipulated data in order to produce meaningful information.
11 EuTravel D3.1 - Version Final 1.0
Requirement: condition, capability or function of the system or its components that allow to address a user request or achieve an objective. Scenario: stories and context able to explain why a specific user or user group will use a specific solution or product. The definition of the scenarios is critical to design the system and its interfaces and also to test the usability of the system. It represents a good tool to facilitate the communication between the research people of the team and the design teams. Service Provider: any company or entity provides or manages transport / travel services integrated into the EuTravel System. Specification: a binding measure laying down provisions containing requirements, procedures or any other relevant rules. Stakeholder: any individual, group, or organization that can affect, be affected by, or perceive itself to be affected by a decision, activity, or outcome of the project. System: group of technologies that are used as a base upon which other programs, applications, processes or technologies are developed The users of multimodal travel information: citizens travelling on journeys which can be new, infrequent or regular/daily. Travellers may require information to help select the most cost effective, quickest or time appropriate mode of transport for a given journey. Moreover, travellers may want to be aware of any changes to a journey which they are undertaking, whether it be disruptions, routing changes, or expected travel time. Users may require information for short local journeys or longer trips including those journeys which require cross-border travel. However, the users of multimodal travel information services are not just limited to the travellers themselves, but increasingly transport operators and transport authorities also use MMTIPs to maximise the efficiency of their management of the transport network by using real-time information about travel disturbances and incidents to smoothly re- direct traffic flow across their network. Traffic data: historic and real-time data on road traffic characteristics. Travel data: basic data such as public transport timetables and tariffs, necessary to provide multi-modal travel information before and during the trip to facilitate travel planning, booking and adaptation. Travel process stages: single steps composing the travel process that a user can perform through the EuTravel System from the planning of the journey, to the ticket purchase until to the possible re-planning of it in case of specific situations; each of them includes several actions and features on the basis of its objective. Use Case: detailed and structured description of how the system works and interacts with the users of service providers to satisfy a specific user request. Thus, it includes the description of: the objective of the Use Case; the actors (entities that participate in the Use Case); the constraints that govern the Use Case; pre-conditions (circumstances in which the Use Case occurs); post-conditions (circumstances in which the Use Case concludes); all the actions undertaken by the users and the system, which reflect the sequence in which they interact during the process.
12 EuTravel D3.1 - Version Final 1.0
User: any traveller or travel buyer that will consume the services provided by the EuTravel System, as passengers that need to plan a journey.

1 Executive Summary
The present Deliverable 3.1 “Modelling and Experiment plans – Scenarios and Use Cases” illustrates the outcome of the work performed in Task 3.1. This task aims to define the set-up of the Living Lab environment, where the EuTravel system will be tested and validated. Importantly, the Living Lab will prove the technical capability of the EuTravel system to: return users optimal travel solutions, that is customised, multi-modal, door-to-door, cross- border travel solution, based on their profile, travel preferences and needs (such as: transport modes, travel solution cost, travel solution time, number of connections, environmental footprint); integrate and process heterogeneous data sources and APIs (provided by transport operators and GDSs of the project consortium) to derive and provide the travel solution above. Additionally, the Living Lab will show how the EuTravel system has been designed in order to allow the user to perform a single booking request and a single payment transaction for the preferred multi-modal travel solution1. For this purpose, the starting point of Task 3.1 activities was the outline of a precise Living Lab concept and testing approach, that were put into practice in the course of the activities. Therefore, the following aspects were defined: tests approach: three iterative testing phases based on the “Plan - Do - Check – Act” approach covering B2C, B2B and B2B2C testing scenarios; specific functionalities / capabilities of the EuTravel system to be tested and validated in the Living Lab: they have been defined based on travel process stages, defined from a Traveller’s Perspective in the Work Package 2 and reported in Deliverable 2.3 “One-stop, cross-device multilingual interface”. The travel process stages include: journey planning, booking, ticketing, payment, alerts / disruptions; real and diversified user categories to be involved in the tests: urban and sub-urban able adult travellers, family of adults and 2 children, travellers with limited mobility or other special needs (a pregnant mother with small child travelling alone, infirm couple, wheelchair-bound person with carer); travel itineraries / routes to be considered as “reference” travel requests from user, as defined in the EuTravel proposal: Rome – Barcelona suburb, Barcelona suburb - London suburb, London suburb –Bruges, Brussels –Oslo2;
1 It is worth mentioning that, whereas the journey planning functionalities of the EuTravel system will be actually implemented and validated in the Living Lab, the consortium will attempt to implement EuTravel system functionalities related to the (single) booking. Concerning the (single) payment functionalities, they will only be simulated in the Living Lab. 2 It is necessary to clarify that the travel itineraries are not subsequent legs of a same travel solutions but different, separated travel itineraries (already presented in the Description of the Action) selected on the basis of the data provided by partners.
14 EuTravel D3.1 - Version Final 1.0 available data and APIs provided by EuTravel consortium partners to “feed” the EuTravel system and make it capable of processing a journey planning request. On this basis, realistic use cases were drafted in order to provide a precise and concrete understanding of: the user – EuTravel system interaction in the journey planning stage (Traveller’s perspective use cases included in Chapter Traveller’s perspective: TO – BE Use cases – Scenarios); the service provider (e.g. transport operator, GDS) – EuTravel system interaction in the whole journey planning and purchase process (Service provider’s perspective use cases described in Chapter Service Provider’s Perspective: TO – BE Use cases – Scenarios). It is necessary to underline that, at the current stage, Traveller’s perspective use cases only focus on the journey planning stage. Thus, they illustrate the capability of the EuTravel system to “answer” the user planning request by providing a customised, multi-modal, door-to-door travel solution, that is based on user specific profile, travel preferences and needs. This is consistent with the selected iterative approach for the testing phase: the first test phase only proves the system capacity and performance in the journey planning stage, in order to identify and solve possible criticalities before proceeding to the next stages (booking, ticketing, payment, alerting, re-planning). It should be noted that the first phase of the Living Labs does not cover B2B2C use cases. Such test scenarios will be developed at the second iteration (Phase II) of the Living Labs, focusing mostly on B2B and B2B2C business models, capturing also the “other Travel Buyers’ perspectives”, including for example travel agents and GDS service providers as the key actors. At the same time, a complete set of KPIs and metrics were defined, in order to identify and select which capabilities of the EuTravel system shall be monitored during the test phase and how the system performance shall be measured (as described in Chapter Measurement Strategy and KPIs). Importantly, KPIs and metrics were defined with respect to all travel process stages and related tests to be performed in the Living Lab until the end of the project, with the aim to orient the system technical development activities to be performed in the project. Additionally, a well-structured monitoring mechanism was established in order to monitor and evaluate the defined set of KPIs and metrics and to have a precise understanding of the EuTravel system performance. The monitoring mechanism is based on both electronic and “human” based tools; it will be managed by EuTravel partners and actively involve users participating to the Living Lab tests, asking them to “rate” and provide a feedback on their experience (as described in Chapter Mechanism for KPI performance measurement - Living Lab Monitoring Dashboard and Chapter Evaluation Reports). Finally, a review of main data and privacy protection regulation to be taken into account for the testing phases was carried out, also in light of the new EU Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 and Directive 2016/680. It is worth to underline that activities carried out in Task 3.1, especially use cases drafting and the definition of the KPIs and metrics set, is strictly linked to the work performed and results accomplished in:
15 EuTravel D3.1 - Version Final 1.0
Work Package 1 Optimodality Framework, with specific reference to functional and non- functional requirements definition; Work Package 2 Optimodality Ecosystem Enablers, concerning the design of the EuTravel system architecture and of the User Interface. The Living Lab environment described in this Deliverable will serve as basis for the tests, the evaluation and reporting activities to be carried out in Task 3.2 “Deployment of initial EuTravel Ecosystem” and Task 3.3 “Living Lab operation learning, refinements and reporting”. Specifically, tests will be carried out according to three phases, as explained in Chapter Objectives of the WP3 – Task 3.1 - Section Living Lab concept and its application in the EuTravel project. 2 Objectives of work-package and tasks dependencies and Living Labs Overview
2.1 Objectives of the WP3 – Task 3.1 This Deliverable consolidates and presents the outcome of the work carried out in Task 3.1 “Modelling and Experiment plans - Scenarios and Use Cases”, as part of Work Package 3 EuTravel Living Lab, whose overall objective is to organize and develop a Living Lab to experiment and evaluate EuTravel system in real life multimodal travel scenarios. In Work Package 3, the main aim of Task 3.1 is to define models and pilot use cases to be tested in the Living Lab environment. The concept of the Living Lab (investigated in more detail in Section Use Cases methodology) is to provide a test-bench to monitor and evaluate the innovations of the EuTravel system. As a matter of fact, the Living Lab tests, which will be carried out in Task 3.2 “Deployment of initial EuTravel Ecosystem” and Task 3.3 “Living Lab operation learning, refinements and reporting”, will compare the AS-IS situation (in terms of how long it takes someone to come up with their own journey using several different information sources) with EuTravel solutions in terms of cost, time, carbon footprint, feasibility for different, specific user categories. Hence, the Living Lab is intended to technically prove and clarify the main strengths of the EuTravel system, that is the possibility to provide users with optimal travel solutions (customized, multi-modal, door-to-door and cross-border travel solutions according to their personal preferences, characteristics and needs). Importantly, the Living Lab will also enable an investigation of difficulties related to transnational multi-modal transports (e.g. legal and commercial barriers) and of the impact and benefits from different stakeholder perspectives. In order to outline and set-up the Living Lab environment, the activities to be carried out in Task 3.1 were organized in the following sub-tasks: Identification of a measurement strategy based on set KPIs and an on-going monitoring mechanism for evaluation in the “Lab” environment (ST 3.1.1);
16 EuTravel D3.1 - Version Final 1.0
Modelling Living Lab use cases to carry out tests on real-life multimodal travel scenarios, involving several travellers’ groups (ST 3.1.2); Preparation of the mechanism for KPI performance measurement and measure the baseline (SB 3.1.3); Design and implementation of a unified dashboard (web application) for monitoring the Living Lab tests, getting data reports, statistics, etc. (ST3.1.4); Design of comprehensive reports for the evaluation of technical and business perspectives, common errors, user behaviour patterns, etc. (ST3.1.5). The outcomes of the sub-tasks listed above are reported in Chapters Measurement Strategy and KPIs - Evaluation Reports of the present Deliverable.
2.2 Living Lab concept and its application in the EuTravel project A “Living Lab” is a user-centred, open-innovation “environment” for the systematic exploration, experimentation and evaluation of innovative ideas, scenarios, concepts and related technological artefacts in real life use cases. Such use cases involve user communities. Living Labs are actually based on two main ideas: users involvement in the innovation process since the early stages; experimentation in real-world environments, with the goal to provide structure and governance to users participation to the innovation process [1]. Hence, a Living Lab is not similar to a test bed as it turns users -from being traditionally considered as observed subjects for testing modules against requirements- into co-creators of emerging ideas. The Living Lab concept has been applied and customised to the EuTravel project purposes and activities to be carried in Work Package 3, also identifying all the elements constituting the EuTravel Living Lab as described in the current Section. As stated before, in the specific context of the EuTravel project, the goal of the Living Lab is to test and validate the technical capability of the systems to integrate and process heterogeneous data sources in order to plan optimal travel solution, that is multi-modal, door-to-door travel solution, taking into account user profile and preferences. Additionally, the Living Lab tests will allow to gather a relevant amount of data in order to quantify the technical performance and, possibly, the general impact of the EuTravel system in terms of better modal integration and resource utilisation, improved consumer choice, seamless information flow to travel users including advice on their rights and fact-based policy making. The EuTravel Living Lab will be implemented following the “Plan - Do - Check – Act” approach. Accordingly, each stage of the travel process should be planned, implemented and afterwards verified. In case of success, the testing / validation process can move forward to the next scheduled stage. Contrary, in case of failure or criticalities, the system working and components design / development should be re-analysed, re-planned and fixed, followed by a new series of trials allowing the testing process to start again. Of course, this approach relies upon a constant
17 EuTravel D3.1 - Version Final 1.0 interplay between the pilot developments and the technology developments, ensuring continuous improvement of the system prototypes. For the EuTravel Living Lab, the testing and validation process has been organized in 5 main stages, as referred in Deliverable 2.3 “One-stop, cross-device multilingual interface” (Figure 2 1) that covers the entire travel process as far as the interaction of the user with the front-end travel planner is concerned. The process covers all steps from the logging-in of the user to the system to alerting in case of disruptions.
18 EuTravel D3.1 - Version Final 1.0
Figure 21: Travel Process Stages – the Traveller’s Perspective Travel Process stages are briefly described below, in order to set the scope of each single stage, by defining related user / system activities: Journey Planning stage: the objective is to provide to the user customized, multi-modal and door-to-door travel solutions. This stage starts when the user creates his / her profile, inserts his / her travel preferences in the EuTravel system and provides all the “inputs” of the travel solution request: his / her profile, point of departure and destination, additional personalised search criteria. On the basis of this information, the EuTravel system processes and displays alternative itineraries in terms of transport modes that can be select by the user, duration and price of each solution; Payment stage: the EuTravel system gives the user the possibility to choose among alternative payment methods to pay for the multi-modal travel solution in a single transaction; Booking stage: it is a confirmation of the selected journey and that the whole process of journey planning and payment has been successfully completed; Ticketing stage: upon confirmation of the different Product owners and Ticket vendor, the user receives the single electronic ticket, that consists of the multiple legs and the chosen transport mode provided by the different vendors3; Alerting stage: it is aimed to provide to user with a real time access to journey information and to inform him / her in case of cancellations, delays, disruptions that may impact on his / her journey by the transport service providers. As far as the full travel process is concerned an important stage is4: Fare and Fare Rules: the user requests a fare based on the details that have included in the travel planner about the traveller (s). This covers the conditions of travel for each passenger type. These stages will be gradually implemented and tested in the Living Lab “Plan-Do- Check-Act” approach, that envisages three main phases: Phase I: testing of Journey Planning services based on the APIs and Travel data sources offered by consortium partners; Phase II: testing of Journey Planning, Booking, Pricing, Payment-Settlement services based on the APIs and Travel sources offered by consortium partners (as explained in Chapter
3 It is necessary to highlight that legal issues arising from the single ticketing concept are still under investigation by the project partners. 4 To be implemented in Phase II.
19 EuTravel D3.1 - Version Final 1.0
Executive Summary , Booking services will be possibly implemented in this phase of the Living Lab, whereas Payment services will only be simulated); Phase III: inviting external service providers (outside the consortium) to join the Living Lab and integrating Open APIs. Testing of all the phases including also the external service providers. Figure 2 2 below presents the Living Labs implementation approach and highlights the Living Lab key dependencies with other Tasks and Deliverables released in the EuTravel project.
Figure 22 : Living Labs and Tasks dependencies Accordingly, with the Living Lab concept and the related requirements to involve real users in the tests as well as with the main objective of the EuTravel System to provide customized travel solutions, several User Groups, with different profile characteristics and preferences have been defined in the EuTravel Project Scoping Document (shared among the consortium partners in November 2015 with the aim to orient project development activities) and selected for the EuTravel Living Lab. The aim is to show the ability of the system to take into account several variables, related to the profile of users involved in the creation of the optimal travel solution. Selected User Groups include: Urban and sub-urban adult travellers, encompassing two specific sub-categories: Business Traveller; Group of universities students.
Family of adults and two children;
20 EuTravel D3.1 - Version Final 1.0
Travellers with limited mobility or other special needs, encompassing three specific sub- categories: A pregnant mother with small child (e.g. in baby carriage) travelling alone; An infirm couple; A wheelchair-bound person with carer. For each User Group, several Use Cases have been drafted for the journey planning phase, relating to the European cross-border routes already selected in the EuTravel proposal. In addition, a recognition of travel data and APIs provided by consortium partners has been carried out, in order to assess and ensure the availability of necessary data to implement the Use Cases in the testing phase. These Use Cases constitute the basis for the test activities of the Task 3.2 “Deployment of initial EuTravel Ecosystem” and Task 3.3 “Living Lab operation learning, refinements and reporting”. The working methodology applied for Use Cases definition, as a core part of the Living Lab environment, is described in details in Section Use Cases methodology below. In order to monitor and evaluate the technical operating and performance, as well as the impact of the EuTravel system, a comprehensive set of KPIs and metrics and a dedicated monitoring and evaluation mechanism have been created in order to assess the EuTravel Living Lab results. Overall, 42 KPIs and metrics have been identified and divided into the following clusters: Functional, Non-functional and Google Analytics KPIs. KPIs and metrics have been defined with respect to the different travel process stages, in order to have, since the Living Lab first set-up, a complete set of KPIs that will contribute to orient next architecture development and test phases. Some KPIs are specific for each travel stage, while other are cross-cutting to all travel stages. The comprehensive list of KPIs and metrics is available in Chapter Measurement Strategy and KPIs. It is worth mentioning that only Journey Planning stage dedicated KPIs and cross- cutting KPIs will be monitored and assessed during the Journey Planning use cases described in this Deliverable and implemented in the first test phase, whereas the other KPIs will be evaluated during the next testing phases. Concerning the KPIs monitoring and evaluation mechanism, it is composed of both electronic and “human” based tools, that will be applied to monitor and assess KPIs depending on their specific nature and the object they intend to measure (described in Chapter Mechanism for KPI performance measurement - ). Therefore, a distinction has been made among: KPIs monitored by available Google Analytics services that offer the ability to track and report website traffic; KPIs that cannot be monitored by Google Analytics services and require special implementation by the User Interface side;
21 EuTravel D3.1 - Version Final 1.0
KPIs that must be monitored by the “Super API” infrastructure, allowing an assessment of the iterative development of the innovative technology that EuTravel “Super API” uses to interact with front-end and Optimodality Framework; KPIs to be monitored by humans (that is, real users involved in the testing phase) by means of a dedicated web-based questionnaire, aimed to get a direct opinion from the users and to evaluate the system considering different variables and different evaluation criteria according to user external perspective and personal “experience” of the system. Finally, the current EU regulation on personal data management and protection has been screened and analysed in order to ensure compliance when treat users’ personal data for the Living Lab purposes. Importantly, the Living Lab will not only prove the EuTravel system from a technological point of view, but it will also identify and investigate legal, commercial and other barriers to the single, integrated booking and ticketing, that currently prevent the implementation of transnational multi-modal mobility solutions.
2.3 Use Cases methodology Use Cases are at the core of the Living Lab environment, as they aim to provide a first and concrete overview on how the EuTravel system will concretely operate to meet the requests made by the main actors involved in the travel process, that is users (travellers) and service providers (transport operators and GDSs). Therefore, Use Cases illustrate the interaction between the user and the EuTravel system (B2C perspective) and between the EuTravel system and the other Transport Operators / GDS (B2B perspective). B2C Use Cases drafted in this Deliverable (Chapter Traveller’s perspective: TO – BE Use cases – Scenarios) only concern the journey planning stage and will be concretely implemented in the Living Lab first testing phase. Afterwards, this Use Cases will be integrated and expanded in order to describe the user - EuTravel system interaction in the booking and payment stage, providing guidance to the second and the third testing phase. Use Cases have been drafted on the basis of a structured working methodology, that has taken into account all elements constituting the EuTravel Living Lab. Firstly, each Use Case has been defined on the basis of the profile characteristics, travel preferences and parameters of the selected user group. As stated in Chapter Objectives of the WP3 – Task 3.1, several user groups very different from each other have been selected and involved in Use Cases drafting. The goal is to provide concrete examples of how the EuTravel System returns different, customised travel solutions depending on the conditions, features and preferences that usually characterize these user groups in real life, such as different preferred transport modes, different financial needs or different time constraints. Secondly, for each user Group, Use Case Scenarios have been built on the basis of the functional requirements defined in Deliverable 1.1 “EuTravel Stakeholder Requirements Specification” – Section 9.2 “Travel Process and End-User Requirement”. In this way, Use Cases have been strictly linked to system capabilities
22 EuTravel D3.1 - Version Final 1.0 and functionalities already defined and related to the architecture design and development activities undertaken in Work Package 2. Particularly, for the journey planning phase, the following functional requirements have been used as Use Cases building blocks: User inputs profile; User inputs A (origin), B (destination) and travel dates; User inputs additional personalised search criteria e.g. special needs, transport mode that is excluded, travel dates range +/-5 days, e.g. cabin etc.; User requests search results; System displays alternative optimized itineraries and details (route details, prices, critical connections - change of transport mode, change of vehicle, etc.); User selects preferred itinerary; System displays information on Terms and Conditions and Passengers Rights. Thirdly, in order to provide credible examples of users travel request and possible returned multi-modal solutions, the following cross-border itineraries have been considered: 1. Rome – Barcelona suburb; 2. Barcelona suburb – London suburb; 3. London suburb – Bruges; 4. Brussels – Oslo5. Also, the following transport modes, provided or managed by consortium partners, have been taken into account: Train; Bus; Plane; Ferry. Furthermore, for each itinerary, a preliminary mapping of possible travel solutions has been drafted (Annex 2), showing different uni-modal legs, based on different transport modes, that compose the multi-modal travel solution. This exercise has allowed to understand which data (in terms of transport services timetables and tariffs) should be made available by the transport operators and GDSs of the consortium in order ensure coverage of the itineraries and a proper system working during the test phase. Consequently, a recognition of data and APIs provided by consortium partners, as well as of the country coverage of transport service they operate / manage, as shown by Table 1.
5 These travel itineraries are not subsequent legs of a same travel solutions but different, separated travel itineraries (already presented in the Description of the Action) selected on the basis of the data provided by partners

Below it follows a brief overview of how the Use Cases have been structured and of main information they provide. Use Case specific information: it provides an outline of: Context and Objectives: brief description of the reference context and main objective of the Use Case; Services Scope: identification of services concerned by the Use Case (journey planning, booking, ticketing, payment); Pre-conditions: brief description of technical preconditions that have to be already verified to enable the Use Case implementation; Constraints: identification of possible restrictions or constraints to be taken into account when running the Use Case in order to ensure a proper system functioning; Actors: List of actors involved in the Use Case (e.g. User, EuTravel Journey Planner, etc.); User focus group: one of the pre-identified user groups that is involved in the Use Case; Door-to-door routes: one of the pre-defined travel itineraries, for whom the user requests a travel solution; Transport modes: transport modes involved in the Use Case, sorted on the basis of the preferences expressed by the user. Main Success Activity Flow: it describes single steps of the interaction between the user and the EuTravel system during the journey planning stage. It also provides detailed information on: Travel information: travel information inserted by the user, such as point of departure and destination, class, number of stops etc.; EuTravel Journey Planner returned travel solutions: possible travel solutions returned by EuTravel ranked according to user preferences and parameters. Travel solution include single uni-modal legs and necessary information for the user to make an informed “mobility decision”, such as overall price, duration and number and type of transport modes; Additional information: information concerning commercial conditions on the travel solution selected by the user; Possible Alternative Flow: it shows an alternative travel solution returned by the system in case of different preferences and parameters indicated by the user at the moment of profile registration or update, or during the Journey Planning stage. Finally, in order to assess the EuTravel system performance in the journey planning stage, relevant KPIs to be monitored and assessed have been screened from the KPIs and metrics exhaustive list (provided in Chapter Measurement Strategy and KPIs). They include specific KPIs for the journey planning stage as well as cross- cutting KPIs that are applicable to all travel process stages s as they aim to assess non-functional parameters of the EuTravel system. 3 Measurement Strategy and KPIs
A comprehensive set of functional KPIs metrics and non-functional KPIs metrics has been defined to assess the EuTravel solution. It includes: 8 functional KPIs and metrics aimed to assess travel solution planning, information provisioning («recommender»), the look-to-book ratio as well as the service quality. They relate to functionalities that adoption of EuTravel system should improve. 28 non-functional KPIs and metrics aimed to assess the EuTravel system from a technical perspective. They relate to the following parameters: usability, interoperability, performance, data performance, scalability, user feedback and security. 6 Google analytics KPIs and metrics aimed to monitor report website traffic, focusing on how customers’ behaviours and preferences when dealing with the EuTravel system (e.g. keywords used to perform research, search content, path / activities flow). The KPIs and metrics have been defined based on the assumption that they shall enable the collection of realistic data to evaluate and quantify: the impact of the EuTravel solution, in terms of better modal integration and resource utilisation, improved consumer choice, seamless information flow to travel users; the EuTravel innovation through the test of non-functional parameters of the system, such as performance, scalability, responsiveness, usability. The KPIs will be monitored through two different ways on the basis of the subject that should evaluate the specific KPI: For 4 of total of 42 KPIs, the evaluation will be done by the users involved in the testing phases because for these KPIs user’s opinions about the completeness, effectiveness and timeliness of the system are required; For the other KPIs, the evaluation will be carried out by the EuTravel system, using Google Analytics and other automated reporting systems because these KPIs concern more technical features of the system. Table 2 below illustrates the measurement tool used for each KPI:

50 4 Traveller’s perspective: AS – IS Scenario
This Section describes the AS – IS Scenario with respect to the journey planning and booking stages, with the ultimate goal to emphasize differences between the currently available on market journey planners and the added value that will be provided by the EuTravel innovative system in the TO – BE Scenario. Processes related to the journey planning and booking phases and differences between the AS-IS and TO-BE models are analysed in Deliverable 1.4 “EU Optimodality framework”. This AS-IS Scenario Section outlines: Key differences between existing travel planners and the EuTravel system; Actual user interaction with travel planners to plan and book a multi-modal travel solution. The EuTravel system distinguishes from journey planners currently available on the market in the functionalities offered for both the planning and booking phases. Available journey and travel planners (e.g. Rome2Rio, Expedia), although well- advanced in the multi-modal, door-to-door journey planning, do not offer user- centred travel solutions and do not always take into account the travel solutions environmental footprint. From a benchmark analysis carried out on a conspicuous number of multi-modal journey planners and travel platforms7, with the aim to investigate available functionalities and understand how similar functionalities are designed in different platforms, the following evidence has arisen: existing journey and travel planners have developed high performing functionalities relating to: Multi-modal travel solutions, at local, national and cross-border level; Provision of detailed information on different transport modes included in the multi-modal travel solution (e.g. line or number, travel duration, number of stops and connections, ancillary services, etc.); Provision of mobility real time information (e.g. traffic status, possible disruptions). Nevertheless, they have not made significant progress for user profiling functionalities and only take into account user “basic” profile information (e.g. residence address, age, etc.) when processing the user journey request. Hence, they do not really distinguish among several user categories, each featured by specific preferences and needs when travelling (e.g. saving money, saving time, limited mobility, need for special care, etc.) and do not provide travel solutions targeted to a single user. Additionally, most of existing journey and travel planners do not provide CO2 emissions information “by default” when returning the travel solution to the user.
7 The analysis has included: Trenitalia Commercial Platform (PICO), Local Public Transport solutions across EU Member States and third countries (e.g. Bpass Lignes d’Azur App - France; Lyon Optimod initiative - France; Lyon: Técély Card & City Card - France; Trenitalia Local Public Transport - Italy; London Oyster Card - United Kingdom; Rio Card - Brazil; Singapore EZ-linked card – Singapore), mobility and travel platforms (e.g. Trenitalia App, Rome2Rio, Expedia, Waze; Moovit; MyCicero; Musement; Moovel; Wanderio). 51 However, the most relevant weakness of available journey and travel planners, even the most advanced, concerns the lack of capability to overcome barriers related to the multi-modal booking process: when the user performs a booking request, they automatically re-direct him to the online portal of each transport and travel operator involved in the multi-modal travel solutions. Consequently, the user must go through a complicated and time consuming process, consisting of as many booking requests and steps as the operators include in the travel solution are. Below it follows brief use case aimed to illustrate the AS – IS Scenario for both the journey planning and the booking phase. UC_00_00: Business Traveller planning a door-to-door trip from A to B.
USE CASE ID UC_00_00
Title Business Traveller planning and booking their multimodal journey Context and Objectives This use case aims to show the current state-of-play in planning and booking a journey through an online travel planner. Services Scope Journey planning and booking. Pre-conditions The user does not use a travel agent to plan and book his journey. Constraints Preferable Browsers: Chrome, Edge, Firefox Optional Browsers: IE10+, Safari Actors User Online Journey Planner User focus group A Business Traveller Door-to-door routes Any origin and destination – The journey is composed by at least two legs covered by different transportation means. Transport modes This use case involves user preferred transport modes: 1. Leg1 - Plane; 2. Leg2 – Train (or other except Plane);
Main Success Activity Flow
STEP ACTOR ACTIVITY The user visits the online travel planner and lands on the 1 User Welcome screen. The user inserts the following trip information: Point of departure; Point of destination; 2 User Date: the user inserts the date of departure; Adults: the user selects the option “1”; Direct or return: the user selects the option “return”.
52 3 User The user clicks on the Plan button. The Online Journey Planner shows the user the planning page, indicating: Point and date of departure; Online Journey 4 Planner Point and date of destination; The number of possible travel solutions for the itinerary (multiple alternatives for each leg) and a map that presents alternative routes. 5 User The user selects a clicks on one of the legs. The Online Journey Planner returns: Online Journey Mode of Transport (e.g. Air); 6 planner Available airlines for the selected leg and estimated journey duration. The user selects one of the airlines available and clicks on 7 User “Show Pricing details”. Online Journey The Online Journey Planner shows the estimated price for 8 Planner the selected airline. The user confirms the selected option by clicking on the 9 User Select button and is redirected to the operator’s website to complete the booking, pay and get the ticket for this leg. The Online Planer does not return a confirmation of the Online Journey 10 already booked leg as this is managed by the operator’s Planner online reservation system. The user returns to his initial search results and repeats the whole process for the second leg of the journey (e.g. Rail). 11 User The second leg’s booking is managed by the Rail Operators online reservation system. Post-conditions The user prints out the tickets and proceeds to book any additional services such as accommodation. The realisation of the EuTravel system will change the AS-IS Scenario depicted above for the planning and the booking stage. In the AS-IS scenario, the Online travel planner actually works as the search engine of available offerings but there is no optimisation offered. The two legs, even if part of the same journey, remain disconnected and the user has the total responsibility of calculating the time required to move through transit points. Some users may additionally use the google maps travel planner to get additional information for their travel and specifically view details about the transitions required (e.g. walking time between terminals). Concerning the TO – BE Scenario, functionalities offered for the planning phase by EuTravel system include: Taking into account user preferences as meaningful input for processing the user journey request and returning a customized travel solution. As a matter of fact, the EuTravel system gives the user the possibility to create his / her profile pointing out travel
53 preferences (e.g. preferred transport modes, preference of cheapest or shortest or the most comfortable travel solution) and special needs (e.g. disabled people needing assistance) and takes into account to plan customized travel solutions targeted to a specific single user; Calculation and display to the user the environmental footprint of each travel solution (in terms of CO2 emissions). Regarding the functionalities provided for the booking phase, the EuTravel system acts as a “single point of interaction” between the user and all transport / travel operators involved in the multi-modal travel solution, giving the user the possibility to perform a single booking request for all the involved operators and complete the booking process in one step only. Thus, it puts in place a user-friendly booking process, allowing the user to perform a single booking request and save time. Therefore, in the TO – BE Scenario, the progress introduced by the EuTravel system in the booking stage completely changes the current interactions and processes, overcoming the obstacles encountered in the multi-modal booking process. EuTravel addresses them from both a technical and a legal / commercial perspective, identifying possible ways to solve them. Thus, the booking process innovation can be considered as the key element that distinguishes EuTravel from existing planners and expresses its added value. In order to explain in detail the TO – BE Scenario outlined above, TO – BE Use Cases – Scenarios are described in Chapter Traveller’s perspective: TO – BE Use cases – Scenarios for the journey planning stage and in Chapter Service Provider’s Perspective: TO – BE Use cases – Scenarios for the Booking stage.

7.1 Introduction The KPIs should be defined as a range of indicators that measure EuTravel system results, with reference to key issues such as achieving a certain market share, to achieve a certain standard of quality, the efficiency performance, the service level. From a practical standpoint, measurement is a process whereby the results of key activities are measured using different types of information. They should provide feedback to assist in improving performance and to key stakeholders to attest as to whether the EuTravel’s platform is delivering on its commitments. There are certain characteristics that a good performance measurement system should embody: Strategic: support EuTravel’s strategy, its communication and implementation; Holistic: to measure performance from a financial, non-financial, quantitative and qualitative perspective; Relevant: attuned to the needs of decision makers and their activities; Timely: to report that is produced at sufficient regularity to properly support decision- making; Accurate: attention to the accuracy of data and calculation of measures is important for trust in the information; Consistent: concepts and definitions need to be consistent to ensure comparability and understandability. Measurement using KPIs is a process that requires substantial planning and effort to achieve a successful outcome. All these characteristics applied to EuTravel KPIs use will help to improve the quality of management decision making, identify whether the organisational strategy and milestones are on track, communicate and align strategy to ensure that all the key parts of the project are working to achieve the same strategic goals. 7.2 Living Labs Monitoring Dashboard - KPIs Monitored by Google Analytics The EuTravel Living Lab creates a test environment for evaluation of the KPI metrics as outlined earlier in Chapter Measurement Strategy and KPIs. Special attention will be given to prepare the Living Lab for running and gather the actual results and preparing the mechanism for KPI performance measurement. Therefore, Living Labs Monitoring process, has been divided into four main sections. The first section consists of the KPIs that will be monitored by available Google Analytics services that offer the ability to track and report website traffic. The second section is comprised of the KPI metrics that cannot been monitored by any Google Analytics services and special implementation needed by the User Interface side. The third section includes, the KPIs metrics that must be monitored by the “Super API” infrastructure in order to be evaluated the iterative development of the innovative technology that “Super API” uses to interact with front-end and Optimodality Framework. Lastly, there are KPIs that cannot be monitored by the EuTravel system or Google Analytics services. Those KPIs are covered by the questionnaires provided in Chapter Evaluation Reports. Google Analytics is a free web analytics service that offers basic analytical tools for tracking website traffic and marketing purposes. The service is available to anyone with a Google Account and the main features include: Data visualization tools including dashboard, scorecards and charts. Custom reports. Email-based sharing and communication. Intergradation with other Google Products like AdWords and Website Optimizer. After doing an extensive research over a massive amount of available reports and charts that Google Analytics provides, the following KPIs are proposed in order to enrich the evaluation process of the Living Lab Monitoring Dashboard. 7.2.1 Unique Visitors by Page This report displays the keywords that brought travellers to the EuTravel page. Ultimately, this report provides to the EuTravel administrators the ability to understand what keywords drive unique visitors to each page. 7.2.2 Customer Behaviour The “Customer Behaviour” report specifies the different behaviours between the “new” and “returning” visitors. The system administrator can use a variant of different categories. As the following figure below illustrates, it uses three categories as columns: “Traffic”, “Conversions” and “Events”.
7.2.3 Site Search Reports The site search reports provide data on what type of content people are looking for on the site. Having site search data gives the ability to the system administrator to monitor the search queries of the EuTravel page visitors. In particular, it can easily monitor what travellers looking for, the words and terminology they are using and how quickly they found what they were looking for. For most websites, it can be set up the site search reports entirely within Google Analytics, without needing to modify anything on website. 7.2.4 Landing Pages Report The Landing Pages report displays which pages are visited. These landing pages are oftentimes the first experience a visitor has with the website. Additionally, by this report, the number of pages that a user visits after landing on the initial page can be identified. The higher the number, the more a landing page is promoted. Also, the average length of time a visitor stays on the website and the percentage of the visitors that have not previously visited can be specified. Finally, a crucial aspect of the website traffic includes the bounce rate. This metric includes the percentage of users that arrive on the landing page and leave the website without viewing any additional pages.
7.2.5 Pages Timings This report can measure the page speed. Slow-loading pages ranks produce weak results. This report allows to evaluate all best and poorest performing pages in terms of page load time. Therefore, it can quickly optimize pages that are negatively impacting the largest number of users. Another important information that this reports provides is related with the Responsive Design. Due to the fact that the EuTravel website will be developed in multi-cross devices means that the performance might dramatically slowing down. By monitoring this metric the developers will be able to decide how to compress the related CSS, HTML and JavaScript in order to improve page speed.
7.2.6 Users Flows The Users Flow report is a graphical representation of the paths users took through your site, from the source, through the various pages, and where along their paths they exited your site. This report provides the ability to compare volumes of traffic from different sources, examine traffic patterns through the website, and troubleshoot the efficacy of the website.
7.3 Unified Dashboard for KPIs Monitoring
The whole concept of the living lab is to provide the test-bench to the stakeholders, in order to be able to evaluate the EuTravel objectives and innovations with realistic data. Based on the KPIs that have been identified in Chapter Measurement Strategy and KPIs, a unified dashboard is needed in order the stakeholders to monitor the living lab tests via data reports and statistics. The figure below illustrates the designed dashboard that will be implemented in order to comply with the objectives of the task 3.1 “Modelling and Experiment plans – Scenarios and Use Cases” as are described in the document of work.
Due to the fact that the dashboard is directly related with the actual EuTravel system, the whole implementation of it will be a part of the EuTravel user interface. Taking this into consideration, a mechanism for identifying who will be able to have access to the dashboard is needed. The solution for this is to provide to the operators/administrators the related authentication and authorization to their profiles in order to distinguish them from potential system’s travellers/users. The login mechanism will be integrated in a way where the system will be able to redirect the system administrator to the dashboard page and the travellers to the EuTravel welcome page.
Therefore, the system administrator will be able to monitor the KPIs via the above dashboard which is separated into two sections: the menu with all measurable KPIs and the view section where the selected graphs and plot will be displayed. Starting from the menu section, all the measurable KPI will be categorized based on the categories that have been defined in Chapter Measurement Strategy and KPIs: “Functional KPIs” and “Non-Functional KPIs”. In each category will be included all the related KPIs that have not been identified as part of the Google Analytics or Questionnaires. By clicking on a particular KPI, the related graph or plot will be loaded and displayed at the view section where the administrator will be able to evaluate the whole system in terms of content, volume, functional and non-functional parameters such as performance, scalability, responsiveness and usability.
7.4 KPIs Monitored by Front End As Chapter Measurement Strategy and KPIs indicates, there are some advanced KPIs that need custom implementation from the front-end side due to the limitation of the Google Analytics. These are the following: KPI 9: Number of steps to obtain authentication/identification KPI 10: Number of steps to complete payment session KPI 12: Completeness of information to complete payment KPI 17: Booking response time KPI 18: Ticketing response time KPI 19: Payment response time KPI 23: Feedback penetration KPI 24: Feedback score
1.1.1 Number of steps to obtain authentication/identification By this metric the system administrator will be able to monitor the number of steps that need to be performed for the authentication/log-in to the EuTravel system. Simultaneously, the system will truck the time required for each step to complete and finally the overall time to complete the entire authentication/log-in process.
1.1.2 Number of steps to complete payment session This metric provides evidence of how many steps and how long it takes to pay for and purchase a travel solution. The system will monitor number of steps to be performed to pay for and purchase a travel solution, time required by the system to complete each step and lastly the overall time to complete the whole payment and purchase process.
1.1.3 Completeness of information to complete payment This metric consists the average score that will be assigned by user to express the completeness level of each payment-related information. As the figure below displays, the scoring will be a scale from zero to five where the number five indicates the exceptional and zero indicates the poor information. A prompt message will be displayed to the traveller after the payment has been done where it will ask the traveller to rate the payment process.
1.1.4 Feedback penetration This KPI aims to show feedback penetration among the user base in relative terms but in absolute values as well to measure its validity as a sample. This metric evaluates the ratio of positive to negative feedback on every measurable category mentioned in the feedback form. This KPI will be measure after the entire process of booking, ticketing and payments will be completed. The travellers will be prompt with a feedback and the system will monitor if this feedback is displayed in all scenarios. 1.1.5 Feedback score This metric evaluates the ratio of positive, negative and neutral feedback on every measurable category mentioned in the feedback form. The user will be periodically prompted with feedback messages in order the system to evaluate the entire system on many different levels such as user experience, accurate data, new features that will be added etc. 7.5 KPIs Monitored by the “Super API” The API of APIs, being the core infrastructure of the EuTravel ecosystem, will provide the required mechanisms in order to monitor and measure numerous metrics as described on this deliverable. These measurements will be accompanied by a web interface that will allow the user to have visual indications and graphing of any available KPI.
7.5.1 Service Availability The standard category of infrastructural metrics refers to Service Availability. It is a typical example of functional metrics. Its goal is to determine whether the system’s stability and availability are on par with established agreements. On systems with business operations that are critical and require high availability, such as booking, we want to derive as much information as possible from the system behaviour on different scenarios. The proposed metrics on that end are the following:
7.5.2 Number of service interruptions One way to measure a system’s stability is the number of service interruptions in a given time frame. By interruptions, we are referring to any form of outage that causes the service to fail to perform its primary operations. In technical terms, this can happen due to numerous reasons. The most common ones are communication issues, that can be caused by network inactivity or bandwidth limitations and result in the system serving empty responses or errors. Other factors that can have similar effects are software, in the form of internal modules, such as API of APIs endpoints or externally developed modules, hardware (physical equipment such as server boxes), or even interconnecting infrastructure (routers, cables). Cases that cause service outage by design, like software updates, system maintenance or infrastructure growth, are the primary candidates for scheduled downtime, and as a result, are excluded from this metric. The computation that calculates the value of this performance indicator is the number of service interruptions in a given timeframe of days, weeks or months.
7.5.3 Average service interruption duration Another metric that can highlight the health status of our infrastructure is the average duration of system outages as described previously. The purpose here is to indicate whether outages are trivial or critical in nature, based on the duration of the resulting service interruption. In the case of simple incidents, we expect the interruption to be minimal, which can be translated to a few seconds of downtime, and no loss of data. In more severe cases, the downtime can be observed for minutes or even hours. As such, this metric serves to determine the criticality of any unexpected events. Besides the average duration, other statistical measures such as median interruption duration as well as bar plots can help in distinguishing harmful scenarios and categorizing them appropriately for further action. This metric is calculated by dividing the total amount of time that one or more endpoints were inactive with the number of discrete service interruptions. 7.5.4 Service throughput With this metric, the purpose is to distinguish the percentage of successful responses that the system generates. The reasons for the system to serve errors cannot be accurately determined in design time generally, but in runtime instead. The most usual causes are wrong input, human error, undocumented use cases and software issues. It is important to distinguish error responses from service outage as they are different by default. The first are generated by providing input to the system that does not follow a business workflow and results in an exception scenario, whereas on the second case, requests are instantly discarded from the system as the required connectivity structures are missing or inactive. This calculation is made by dividing the number of generated responses with a successful status code (2XX) vs. the total number of generated responses.
7.5.5 Percentage of monitored endpoints This is rather a simple metric, mostly used to measure the development progress in terms of API management. We consider that each service endpoint must be fully monitored and bug-free in order to claim that its development is complete and this indicator serves this purpose. We deliver this metric by the dividing number of endpoints that have been integrated in the KPI monitoring interface, with the total number of available endpoints.
1.1.6 Booking, ticketing and payment time response time By this metric the system administrator will be able to observe the time that is required by the system in order to perform the booking, ticketing and payment process for each use case.
Figure 78: Booking response time
Figure 79: Ticketing response time Figure 710: Payment response time 7.5.6 Average Afterwork Time This metric (measured in milliseconds) is designed to accompany the “Travel Solution build time per Use Case” and “Booking / Payment time per use case” KPIs by measuring the time that the system is kept busy after serving a specific response to a user. The importance of this metric lies in the fact that in general, after a communication transaction to a third party is concluded, the system still has some work to do, such as logging activity, closing sessions, updating database lines etc. This work can render an endpoint unavailable for that duration which can have a direct impact on availability. We compute this metric by calculating the time while one or more system components are busy after sending a response to a user for an established sample collection of transactions and extracting the average value.
7.5.7 Non-functional KPI metrics Dataset Update rate We want to measure the frequency of dataset updates. By datasets, we are referring to collections of static or real-time data from partners in batch format. Up to the point of shopping, the system is fed with information from all established partners that depict the initial knowledge to provide routing and travel planning services. Due to the nature of the problem we are trying to solve, this data gets outdated on short notice, so we have to establish a scheduled job of updating our data in CIM format from external sources. This metric can facilitate the accuracy estimation of our system by providing an overview of the dataset updates for a given time period and consequently the freshness of data in the format accepted by our Common Information Model. Dataset Update efficiency A valid consideration is that number of updates cannot be a deterministic factor of system accuracy simply because we do not receive enough information from it alone. This is why we propose a metric of update efficiency, which aims to discover the relative size of fresh data in each update. So in the case where we receive an update of 1MB of serialized data, we want to know exactly how much of that data is actually new. This approach can measure the effectiveness of each update cycle and justify any further refinements in this process. This measurement does not have a unit as it is a percentage value, obtained by dividing the size of a single update file to the size of the actual fresh data received from parsing it. Feedback Penetration Percentage An integral part of providing a valuable service to all stakeholders is the received feedback. Without it, any development efforts can potentially be off-point and lead to useful but unsuccessful software. As a result, we want to measure the feedback penetration among our user-base. The goal is to compute how many of the active users have received the feedback prompt and possibly on a second stage to compute how many of them have actually responded to it by providing feedback. Again, this measurement does not have a unit as it is percentage based. Feedback score Finally, we want to measure the stakeholder reception of the EuTravel services which can be achieved by comparing the number of positive feedback instances to the total number of feedback entries. This is very important, as we can gain valuable knowledge on how well the system is performing in terms of user approval, which is a substantially different indicator from the ones we have discussed so far.
7.5.8 KPIs Design Due to the fact that some KPIs must be monitored from the “Super API” side, there is the need for custom implementation. The actual data will be transferred to the user interface where will be responsible for presenting them in comprehensible charts and plots. The related KPIs metrics are the following: KPI 1: Solution Coverage KPI 3: Booked solutions / offered solutions KPI 4: Solution payment options KPI 5: Number of service interruptions KPI 6: Average service interruption duration KPI 7: Service throughput KPI 8: Percentage of monitored endpoints KPI 15: Formats converted to CIM (e.g. CSV, GTFS, proprietary formats) KPI 16: Travel Solution building and returning response time KPI 20: Average after work time KPI 21: Dataset update rate KPI 22: Data set Update efficiency
Solution Coverage
This metric assesses if the EuTravel system is able to return a complete multi-modal, door-to-door travel itinerary, providing a travel solution for each uni-modal leg of the travel itinerary required by the user.
Booked solutions / offered solutions This metric takes into account the number of travel solutions returned to the user and among which the user can make his choice: among all available travel solutions, the EuTravel solution will select a pre-set number of solutions that will be displayed to the user.
Solution payment options
Th is metric assesses the capability of the EuTravel system to assist users in purchasing tickets for the different transport modes covering the uni-modal legs of the multi-modal travel solution. Also it’s based on the assumption that users purchase "separately" tickets associated to the transport mode of each uni-modal leg (payment transactions are performed one by one in a sequence). Therefore, the EuTravel system shall "guide" users through different transactions and enable them to complete the whole process and enable users to exploit different payment options (e.g. credit card, PayPal account, eWallet) provided by different transport operators.
Number of service interruptions This metric aims to show the stability of the infrastructure measured by the number of service interruptions that occur in a given timeframe. It measures only the interruptions that are caused from internal issues, such as bandwidth bottlenecks, network failures, software failures etc. Service throughput
This metric isolates the successfully transmitted traffic of the infrastructure compared to the total traffic, as a measure of the service’s success. Percentage of monitored endpoints
This metric aims to describe the quality of service that is offered by the infrastructural KPIs. A higher percentage of monitored endpoints relates to more accurate results.
Formats converted to CIM (e.g. CSV, GTFS, proprietary formats) This metric provides an overview of data provided by different operators, in different formats, that the EuTravel system is able to catch and elaborate thanks to the CIM. Travel Solution building and returning response time This metrics provide an overview of defined use-cases performance within the Living Lab.
Average after work time This metric wants to reveal if there is any excessive work required from the server after the response generation. Dataset update rate This metric counts the number of updates received for a dataset on a given time period, effectively measuring its update frequency. Dataset Update efficiency This metric shows the average ratio of fresh data in dataset updates. The goal for this KPI is to optimize the dataset update mechanism in order to not cause unnecessary work to the system. This can be achieved by configuring the frequency of updates or the size of the received data. 7.6 Security KPIs
7.6.1 Overview When designing a system that requires to meet specific security or quality attribute, architects need consider the scope of security needs and the minimum required security requirements. Not every system will need to use all of the basic security design principles but will use one or more in combination based on a company and architecture threshold denied for system security, this information should be stated at the requirements and design level because the existence of security constraints in an application can add an additional layer to the overall system and can affect other parameters like performance. That is why the definition of minimum security acceptability is needed when a system is designed because this attribute needs to be factored with the other system attributes so that the system in question adheres to all requirements both functional and non-functional.
7.6.2 Security and Living Lab The activities that we believe should be carried on to secure the platform before it goes into Living Labs can be defined as follows. Definition of security requirements to be followed in development, integration and provision of the platform. Examples of requirements can be: o Encryption in the exchange of data between different components if we are dealing with specific sensitive data. This security measure is intended to ensure the confidentiality of the transmission as the exchange could be intercepted by a cyber-attack; o Systems hardening (disabling of systems default users and passwords, disabling unnecessary services, etc.). This measure has the aim to ensure that the inherent weaknesses of the system configurations can be eliminated; o Using antivirus on the systems. This security measure is aimed at protecting against viruses, malware, etc. as well as being necessary for compliance with laws (egg. privacy regulations). Run a Vulnerability Assessment before starting up the Living Lab environment. A Vulnerability Assessment is typically a scan done through special instruments (for the purpose of EuTravel System it was decided to use Nessus, an automated tool, which, by carrying out a long series of controls on individual systems or applications, allows to know details regarding their configuration and the possible presence of vulnerability, but there are also other tools available, like ipLegion, Qualys, etc). After the automatic scanning phase, usually there is a part of deep analysis carried out by an analyst to identify any false positives and drive fixing vulnerabilities. This activity usually identifies architectural vulnerabilities (operating system, web server, application server, database, etc.) and automatically ranks in terms of criticality (H, M, L). It is not able to identify applications vulnerabilities, especially in case of custom application. The Vulnerability Assessment provides a pdf file and the vulnerabilities are captured by a software and there is a post analysis carried out by human; Perform a Penetration Test before starting up live-lab environment. A Penetration Test is typically done by qualified testers and aims to simulate a real intrusion on the system according to a previously defined attack scenario. Even in this case are identified, system vulnerabilities but typically application vulnerabilities. Every company that performs PT usually has his vulnerabilities classification criteria. A dedicated vulnerabilities classification criteria has been developed, that considers various factors such as: o Information that has been reached (e.g. sensitive information for privacy); o Exploited vulnerability and its NIST classification; o Complexity of the cyber-attack; o Attacker's skill level to carry out the attack / exploit the vulnerabilities. The Penetration Test provides a report and an excel file to import into the dashboard may be also be provided; the vulnerabilities are captured only by human, providing a lists of vulnerabilities classified according to their criticality. The VA and PT will be performed periodically (e.g. every half-year or annually); it occurs, whenever, the vulnerabilities found in the previous test. Perform a Code Review before starting up live-lab environment. A Code Review activities aims to discover, in a static manner, possible vulnerabilities o Trojan included in the code from programmers as an error or for malicious purposes. Since we use already successful existing tools, we believe it is not necessary to include a code review activity before the transition into living-lab environment. The frameworks used for the test run are OSSTMM and OWASP.
A detailed description of Security Product level and Security Process level KPIs has been provided in the KPIs Table of Chapter Measurement Strategy and KPIs. The KPIs Security Process level measure how good is the process to remove vulnerabilities, in fact if we repeat the VA and PT process several times, i.e. after every new platform release, we should see a decrease in this trend and this will mean that the vulnerability removal process is working correctly and the new release of the platform do not introduce new vulnerabilities. These indicators measure the goodness of the management and resolution of vulnerabilities process, reported by the security test. There may also be other indicators related to security incidents, resolution time, etc. These indicators make more sense in a working environment because they are measured over time: in the 30 months of the project they are not particularly effective but may give trend, and create a baseline for post project.
7.6.3 Vulnerabilities Dashboard In security areas it is important to have a continuous control of the security levels and how they meet the requirements set for the service. This can be carried out through specific monitoring tools that analyse data and create correlations among different information, i.e. high level of traffic on a specific network can be seen as a possible attack, access to a system with too many errors in the password usage can be seen as non-authorised access, to many request of access can be seen as a DOS attack, etc. It is important to notice that the above analysis requires specific continuous data collection and specialised software that collects data through time, in order to create an analysis of behaviours and trends, in the specific case of Eutravel Living Lab the timeframe does not allow to set up such specific software and to gather sufficient information this is why different ways of measuring the security levels have been defined. The used KPI are more connected with the intrinsic security of the platform and can be used also in further evolutions or given as example to end users. Through the vulnerabilities control dashboard, it is possible to verify the trend indicators of vulnerabilities and monitor their status before and after a scanning. Therefore, vulnerabilities are listed with respect to their severity level (High, Medium and Low). The severity must be managed in accordance with the provisions of their respective KPI described in the previous paragraphs. Once the vulnerability has been resolved it will be removed from the list, and it will be marked as solved. Even if the user declares resolved that vulnerability it could happen that it will be detected again the next scan, so the effective resolution has reflected only compared with a new scan. Since the vulnerabilities are constantly changing, it may be that new vulnerabilities, that were not previously detected, can emerge as a result of a new scan. Regarding the KPIs specific for the security requirements provided, they will be defined with respect to architecture, software platform and database planned for the Living Lab. ISO Concerning the ISO: we use ISO27001:2013, ISO25010:2011. 8 Evaluation Reports

26 This question evaluates KPI no. 14 Clarity of information. 9 Ethics Regulations and Compliance Procedures
The Living Lab testing phases will conform to the relevant EU regulations and directives (e.g. new EU Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 and Directive 2016/680) relating to the collection and storage of big data information, applying all possible means for the protection of privacy and ethics in travellers’ personal data collection, processing and dissemination, such as the Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs).
9.1 Compliance with Legislation The following principles define the Living Lab approach: Compliance with Legislation: any real data collected during the testing phase for both research and demonstration purposes will be handled in accordance with the Data Protection legislation in the concerned countries and each company handling the data will be registered to handle this type of information with their data protection authority; Use Limitation: all information leading to person identities will be encrypted and protected according to EU best practices e.g. using reference numbers instead of actual names; Security Safeguards: Personal data will be kept secure from potential abuse, during all required processing before storing, until personal identities are eliminated; Openness: all collection processes will be transparent on how data is collected, used, and shared; Accountability: EuTravel will be accountable to comply with all above principles.
9.2 Informed Consent Procedures The project will focus on personal travel. The basic types of travel users expected to be involved in the real life multimodal travel scenarios monitored by the project’s living lab (Focus Groups) include travellers with limited mobility or other special needs such as: A pregnant mother with small child e.g. in baby carriage; An infirm couple; A wheelchair-bound person with carer. EuTravel will get informed consent from anyone participating in the Living Lab use case scenarios. The purpose(s) for the data collection (Purpose Specification) e.g. observation and tracking of their travel routes, duration of their journeys etc. will be clearly specified to the stakeholders which will be notified each time the purpose is changed. More specifically, a set of an informed consent form and an information sheet will be shared (distributed) to the Living Lab travel services potential participants, at the phases of planning (first testing phase) and booking (second and third testing phase). In that way, the Living Labs will involve only travellers who have already given consent to data collection and travel behavior monitoring. This set of documents will be comprehensive and will contain at least the following elements: 1. A statement that participation is voluntary. 2. The scope of research – purpose of personal data collection. 3. A description of the procedures to be followed and tests or measurements to be carried out. 4. Information about who is organising and funding the research. 5. A description of any reasonably foreseeable risk, discomfort or disadvantages. 6. A description of any benefits to the subject or to others which may reasonably be expected from the research avoiding inappropriate expectations. 7. A statement describing the procedures adopted for ensuring data protection/confidentiality/privacy including duration of storage of personal data. 8. A reference to whom to contact for answers to questions about the research and research subjects' rights. 9. A statement offering travellers the opportunity to ask questions and to withdraw at any time from the research without consequences. 10. An explanation of what will happen with the data or samples at the end of the research period and if the data/ samples are retained or sent/sold to a third party for further research. 11. Information about what will happen to the results of the research. In the case of children involved in the research, informed consent of parents/legal representatives will be collected with a separate informed consent form, including similar information for parents/legal representative and for children (e.g. pictorial representations).
9.3 Data collection and storage Procedures EuTravel will encrypt and anonymise the data, in order to protect personal identities, and it will decisively not implement processing algorithms leading to “personally identifying” results. Each information sheet will be given a reference number and will not be tied to the subject (person giving the information). Information gathered may include, age, destination, type of traveller and health details, but personal details such as the name and address will not be included in the dataset. In that way the stored profiles will be generic (complying with data protection principles) but will include all the required information for the scope of this research. Additionally, EuTravel participants will: deny unauthorised persons to access the data-processing equipment used for processing the research datasets (equipment access control); prevent the unauthorised reading, copying, modification or removal of data media (data media control); ensure that persons authorised to use the data-processing system only have access to the data covered by their access authorisation (data access control). Authorisation and Ethical Approvals Inlecom is registered with ICO. Additionally, copies of ethical approvals for the collection of personal data by the competent University Data Protection Officer / National Data Protection authority will be submitted to the REA before the data collection phase.
10 Conclusions
This Deliverable has outlined the testing environment that has been set-up for the validation of the EuTravel system developed in the course of the project. Hence, it has provided an overview of the first test beds to which the EuTravel system will be subject in the period July – September 2016. These will be necessary to prove the technology design and development results achieved so far, to identify possible criticalities and timely undertake remediation actions and improvement. As explained in the Deliverable text, the Living Lab tests will adopt an iterative approach. Thus, the first testing phase will aim to validate the EuTravel system capabilities and performance with respect to the journey planning stage only. Once these capabilities have been validated, and if necessary improved, the second and the third testing phases will be undertaken, with the final aim to validate and strengthen the EuTravel system overall. The Deliverable has also outlined the EuTravel system innovative features to be tested in the Living Lab, depicting key differences between functionalities of existing multi-modal journey planners (so-called AS – IS Scenario) and the functionalities of the EuTravel system (so-called TO – BE Scenario). It has also described the AS – IS and TO – BE user interaction with travel planners to plan and book a multi-modal travel solution. The main evidence arisen from the comparative analysis of the AS – IS and the TO – BE Scenarios is that EuTravel system presents innovative functionalities with respect to the planning and booking travel stages, compared to existing journey planners. These innovative functionalities relate to: The capability to return the user profiled travel solutions, based on his / her specific profile, travel preferences and needs (e.g. travel solution cost, time, connections, special mobility needs); The capability to take into account and provide “by default” the travel solutions environmental footprint; For the booking stage, the capability to acts as a “single point of interaction” between the user and all transport / travel operators involved in the multi-modal travel solution. Thus EuTravel allows the user to perform a single booking request for all the involved operators and complete the booking process in one step only, with time savings. In the TO – BE Scenario, the implementation of the EuTravel system changes the AS - IS interactions and processes, overcoming current obstacles encountered in the multi-modal booking process. To provide a concrete evidence of the EuTravel system operating functionalities in the Living Lab tests, an exhaustive set of KPIs and metrics and an articulated KPIs monitoring mechanism have been defined. Particularly, KPIs and metrics have been clustered into four main categories: functional KPIs and metrics; non-functional KPIs and metrics; Google analytics KPIs and metrics. They will be evaluated by a monitoring mechanism (so-called “dashboard”) composed by different services and components: Google Analytics services, that offer the ability to track and report website traffic; User Interface; The “Super API” infrastructure, allowing the evaluation of the iterative development of the innovative technology that “Super API” uses to interact with front-end and Optimodality Framework; An Evaluation Report (in the form of a questionnaire to be filled by users involved in Living Lab tests). It is important to emphasize that the Living Lab environment will not only focus on the EuTravel system technological operations and performances but it will also take into account and investigate current legal, commercial and other barriers hindering the single, integrated booking and ticketing, possibly providing recommendations to overcome them. 11 References
