Abstract

Mobility is a crucial sector for the livability of urban spaces, both in terms of accessibility for people with disabilities, and in terms of enjoyability by people with different interests. The deep transformation mobility is undergoing, heading towards commoditization of the full spectrum of transportation services, can lead to efficient solutions based on the same principle for all these needs. This paper shows how the approach based on the flexible orchestration of microservices allows to build applications that are, at the same time, more easily suited to the specific needs of different user categories, and more seamlessly integrated in the Mobility as a Service approach to smart mobility.
