Crowdsourcing in CIPTEC


One of the concepts that the collective intelligence term encompasses is the term of crowdsourcing. In CIPTEC we will utilise this form of collective intelligence to generate innovative ideas from different groups of individuals while at the same time stimulating dialogue and discussion among all parties involved in the public transport sector.

The crowdsourcing platform that we are developing, will be deployed in four areas:

  • Germany (coordinated by partner traffiQ),
  • Netherlands (coordinated by partner MRDH),
  • Italy (coordinated by partner TIEMME),
  • Greece (coordinated by partner AUTh).

Users will be asked to: “Identify and submit new innovative ideas regarding public transport”.

The schedule for the CIPTEC crowdsourcing campaigns is the following:

  • Month 12 (April 2016) the platform will be ready and deployed to the four areas,
  • Month 13 (May 2016) the crowdsourcing campaigns begin,
  • Month 18 (October 2016) the crowdsourcing campaigns finish,
  • Month 13 (May 2016) – Month 18 (October 2016) the best crowdsourcing ideas are forwarded to the co-creation workshops for evaluation,
  • Month 18 (October 2016) – Month 20 (December 2016) the evaluation process continues,
  • Month 20 (December 2016) rewards will be given.
