The World Bank conducted this study of
the potential for Open Transport Data in St. Petersburg as
part of the preparations for the Improvement of Urban
Transport Systems Project in Russia. It is principally
intended for use by the St. Petersburg transportation
authorities, the Federal Ministry of Transport and the
Project Implementation Unit in considering and implementing
open data as part of the new systems being developed as part
of the Project. There are already good examples of transport
information systems in St. Petersburg. Most of this
information is not currently available for external use, but
in the cases where it has been made available, for instance
by the Agency 'Organizer of Transportation' for
real-time bus information; this has been welcomed and
well-used by citizens and authorities, despite some current
limitations. Within the St. Petersburg component of
Improvement of Urban Transport Systems Project there are
plans for more transport information systems, including
parking information, traffic management and passenger
information systems. The conclusion of this report is that
the social, economic and environmental benefits of the St.
Petersburg project would be enhanced by the greater
availability and use by travelers and others of the
information collected by these planned systems. Making the
information available as Open Transport Data and allowing it
to be used for development of innovative third-party
applications would be a relatively easy and cost-effective
way of leveraging the planned investment to ensure that the
information reached the largest number of travelers. Doing
so will maximize the desired behavioral changes that drive
the benefits and improve the overall return on investment. |
