Advanced mobile computing devices with wireless communication and geo-positioning capabilities are finding increasingly widespread use in Europe and beyond. Example devices include smart phones, PDA phones, and navigation systems. It is thus becoming increasingly relevant and attractive to utilize these devices and the related communication infrastructure for the deployment of transport-related mobile services. This paper describes the architecture of a service platform that enables users to create their own mobile services. The platform is based on standard hardware and software technologies and offers integration of transportation-related services with other services.
