Gamified Requirement Elicitation for a Multi-Modal Decision Support System. The Case of SYNCHROMODE

SYNCHROMODE is a Horizon Europe project that aims to develop a data-driven ICT toolbox for improving the management of transport operations from a multimodal perspective. This is, in essence, a multimodal decision support system that will take the form of interconnected pieces of software. Developing complex systems requires careful planning and management. Their "life cycle" consists of several phases, starting with the critical stage of requirement elicitation, which establishes the system's foundational needs and expectations. This paper focuses on the requirement elicitation phase of core interconnected services that are to be offered through the SYNCHROMODE toolbox. Elicitation is achieved both through traditional methods and specifically through the use of use cases as well as through the use of gamification. During the design phase of the toolbox and as a result of the use cases a set of predefined requirements were identified. Moreover, a requirement elicitation serious game was designed and developed. Subsequently, the game was presented in person during a physical workshop, which took place in Thessaloniki in October 2023, to a diverse range of stakeholders, including experts in traffic management, public transport authorities, MaaS providers, first responders, ITS technology providers, and local authorities. Both requirement elicitation processes are summarized in the context of this paper. Finally, the requirements generated through traditional means and through gamification are then analyzed and compared.

Assessing the Readiness of Greece for Autonomous Vehicle Technologies

Despite the debate regarding the timeframe and rate of penetration of Autonomous Vehicles, their potential benefits and implications have been widely recognized. Therefore, assessing the readiness of individual countries to adopt such technologies and adapt to their introduction is of particular importance. This paper aims to enrich our understanding of EU readiness regarding the introduction of autonomous vehicle technologies by assessing the case of Greece. Thus, through a literature review, the criteria upon which such an assessment should be based are established and analyzed. Subsequently, the case of Greece is assessed based on those criteria by finding relevant sources that support and justify any assessment. Regardless of the outcome concerning the readiness of Greece, such an assessment should help identify areas in which focus should be given in order to ensure a smoother transition to such technologies. This contribution is expected to assist policy makers in Greece.

National Access Points for Intelligent Transport Systems Data: From Conceptualization to Benefits Recognition and Exploitation

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) constitute a core representative of a paradigm shift in the transport sector. The extent to which the transport sector has adapted itself to this digital era relies considerably on the availability of suitable and reliable data. Currently, several data-related limitations, such as the scarcity of available datasets, hinder the deployment of ITS services. Such limitations may be overcome with the deployment of properly designed data exchange platforms that enable a seamless life-cycle of data harvesting, processing, and sharing. The European Union recognizing the potential benefits of such platforms has, through the relevant Delegated Regulations, proposed the development of a National Access Point (NAP) by each individual Member State. This paper aims to ascertain the role of a NAP within the ITS ecosystem, to investigate methodologies used in designing such platforms, and, through the drafting of an extended use case, showcase a NAP operational process and associate possible benefits with specific steps of it.
