TravelAI Catch! Demo

Citizens at the City's Heart shaping improved transport services

TravelAI Catch! Demo app is a demonstration of how effortless it is to capture transport usage anywhere in the UK and EU using TravelAI's automated travel-detection technology.

This demonstration version of the app will be most useful for city officials and citizens and transport professionals that would like to see Catch! developed in their city. That said, anyone can download the demo app for free.

Catch! is a project to develop a next generation journey planner that adapts to travel conditions in real time to deliver the most accurate and stress-free routing. It works by analysing the movements of its community of users, building an anonymised dataset that is fed back into the journey planner. The data will also be offered to city planners and transport operators so they can make our transport systems work better and more efficiently for all of us.

This demo version doesn't have the Catch! journey planner, but does include the crowd sourcing travel detection.

Catch! is backed by the government. For more information see www.travelai.info/catch

>> Do I need to keep GPS on?

You must enable GPS on your phone to allow the app to detect your travel.

>> Will the app drain my battery?
