SPRINT, short for Semantics for PerfoRmant and scalable Interoperability of multimodal Transport, is a project directly linked with S2R IP4. The project has reached its halfway point in December 2019.
SPRINT’s objectives are to improve the performance and scalability of the Interoperability Framework being developed by IP4 as a whole, sustain a large deployment and to simplify and/or automate all the steps needed to integrate new services and sub-systems into the IP4 ecosystem. Moreover, SPRINT contributes to the realisation of the Interoperability Framework by masking the complexity of interoperability to travel applications by publishing in the Interoperability Framework’s Assets Manager uniform abstractions of services enabling travel applications to know how to communicate with them (e.g., web service or API interfaces and communication protocols). Lastly, SPRINT will provide additional technical means to operate on the “web of transportation data”. For example, the Interoperability Framework will enhance its ability to act as a distributed broker and communicate with different services as a means to dynamically discover, bind and inject data and services. This will include the Mobility Service Providers identification on the basis of their geographical area and offered service capabilities.
