TRANGO. TRIP AND GO

About the pilot

TRANGO is a service developed by the Agilia Center R&D team under the umbrella of the ARTICONF project and supported by the EGI-ACE project. Agilia Center is a software factory that offers a catalogue of development services. Their expertise in open-source software technologies allows us to offer ad-hoc solutions to different sectors. in the latest years, the company has especially focused on the logistic sector, providing solutions to improve mobility in our cities.

With TRANGO, Agilia wants to address city mobility problems:

• Reduce the number of circulating cars in a city
• Efficency in the use of parking lots and vehicles
• Decrease the CO2 emissions by increasing the number of the occupants in a vehicle (car pooling)
• Improving the adoption of new vehicle’s innovations with a faster fleet renewal

TRANGO provides a platform that combines carsharing with the ridesharing model within a social network to facilitate the interactions among users and their communication with service administrators. This service provides transparency between car owners, drivers and passengers who want to hire the vehicle, adding some benefits to the owners and to and to passengers and drivers. A demand prediction functionality for each city suggests locations to car owners or fleet administrators to improve their revenues. Additionally, an incentivisation service offers escrow and price discounts based on user behaviour and selects travel partners based on their reputation.

“As Innovation Hub, we found a great value sharing information and discussion among different pilots and interest in a wide diversoity of fields.”
