MapMap
What is it?

MapMap is an open source toolset that simplifies collaborative public transportation mapping, especially useful in small and medium-sized cities. It allows users without much technical knowledge to create and publish information about transportation infrastructure effectively and economically. This methodology supports governments and local communities in the analysis and planning of public transport, contributing to sustainable solutions and reducing polluting emissions, thus facing the urban challenges that arise from the rapid growth of cities.

What problems does it solve?

MapMap solves the challenge of lack of accessible public transportation data, especially in small and medium-sized cities. It provides a low-cost, easy-to-use solution that allows governments and local communities to generate and share information about their transportation networks, facilitating urban planning and improving transportation infrastructure.

How does the tool work?

Utilizes a mobile app for real-time tracking and mapping of public transportation routes. The server application compiles and organizes data collected from the mobile app. Empowers users to contribute to the creation of a comprehensive public transport map. Improves accessibility to reliable information on public transit routes and schedules. Aims to enhance urban mobility by providing clear data to both users and city authorities.

Open standards

Developed for Android mobile platforms, it optimizes accessibility. Incorporates real-time data collection and mapping technologies, ensuring dynamic information capture. Utilizes server-side applications for efficient data aggregation and management. Embraces an open-source nature, allowing continuous improvements by the community. Complies with licensing standards such as the MIT License and the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0, ensuring transparency and open collaboration.
