A nation-wide data-based challenge seeking innovative solutions to improve public-transit connectivity in the Greater Kochi area with Kochi metro as the backbone will be launched here on Wednesday.
The innovation challenge seeks to bring together ideas from technology providers, mobility entrepreneurs, NGOs, developers, city and transport planners, and students to co-create solutions for bridging gaps in multi-modal integration, seamless commuting, and customer experience. This will be done by enabling greater data-centric decision-making by transit operators and civic agencies.
The Station Access and Mobility Programme (STAMP) innovation challenge would be initiated by Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) with the technical and logistical support of World Resources Institute (WRI) India Ross Center for Sustainable Cities and Toyota Mobility Foundation (TMF).
KMRL managing director A.P.M. Mohammed Hanish will launch the initiative and deliver the keynote address, a press release said.
Shortlisted teams will make presentations before the stakeholders by February end.
