Call For Suppliers

Our core expertise is in bespoke enterprise software development, data management and IoT – predominantly for Intelligent Transport Systems. To complement these skills we need partners who understand multi-disciplinary multi-stakeholder technology deployment programmes.

Background

MyJrny’ aims to incentivise disconnected service providers within the transport ecosystem to collaborate in the delivery of more integrated and enhanced end-to-end journeys for UK passengers. Our vision is for the cloud-based software and IoT sensor network is designed to connect an individual’s immediate travel requirements and behavioural habits to available services being offered by transport operating companies and providers of complementary services (e.g. food & beverage, accommodation etc.).

Innovation: MyJrny’s unique selling point is its innovative personal data management architecture, which allows the platform to define highly personalised, and thus more relevant travel guidance for users, whilst preserving the individual’s anonymity and right to privacy. Its second innovative feature is the revenue model, which enables service providers to generate income through affiliate commissions from recommended services, and from the exploitation of internet-connected assets, including outdoor signage, buildings and vehicles. The model establishes the technical framework and financial incentive for greater collaboration between transport operators whilst integrating services from other commercial sectors. Through its low cost of deployment and low-touch integration with legacy technologies, afforded by technological advancement and innovation, MyJrny constitutes an essential ‘shared-economy’ component for UK Government to deliver its vision of a smarter and more integrated transport systems infrastructure.

Regional Focus: The aim of the project is to validate the MyJrny model and its assumed benefits by conducting a live pilot across the CWLEP region, during 2018. The industrial research and development activity outlined is required to bring the current MyJrny initiative from proof-of-concept to a mature prototype, which has been validated in a live environment and is ready for commercialisation.

A Unique ‘Mobility-as-a-Service’ product: Enable iD plans to exploit MyJrny in the public, consumer and corporate enterprise markets through the creation of a new white-label ‘personal mobility account’ product, that will be offered to end-users through B2B channel partners in these respective target markets. We have letters of intent in this regard from Transport for West Midlands, Arriva UK Trains, Barclays Bank and Tata.

Our Requirements

There will be a need for business and data analysis services to help us to scope out the project and provide functional specifications for our software development team to work to.

PHASE 1 – This phase requires specifications for the development of the MyJrny platform prototype to be authored. Key tasks completed within this period will include mapping available transport data APIs, defining typical user experience journey maps, and establishing rules for handling of personal data. Outputs will need to include reports specifying platform functionality requirements based on current customer travel patterns.

PHASE 2 – Comprises building a mature platform prototype enabled via the Phase 1 deliverables and the engagement of commercial stakeholders. Outputs include a pilot-ready MyJrny platform and demonstration app interface, and an engaged and educated user-base ready for pilot deployment.

The table below outlines the project phases this will need to be managed:

The plan’s execution will need to be overseen by an experienced, full-time, PRINCE2 certified Project Manager.
