We are pleased to announce that on 1st of July we deployed iPlaner in our newest version to the city of Lublin.

Poland's biggest webportal on Transportation has published an article on goEuropa's IPLANER2 getting the 2nd place in Flex Challenge 2009 contest.

goEuropa has launched its new version of web-based journey planner - IPLANER2. The web-application has just now received 2nd place in a prestigious Flex Challenge 2009, competition organised by Adobe Poland (technology company known for products including Flash, Acrobat and others).

goEuropa has released portal for local polish town operator, Kombus Kórnik, Poland.

goEuropa has released portal for City of Poznan Transport Authority. It is available at: www.ztm.poznan.pl. It includes goEuropa modules: timetable viewer, web-based journey planner and gives the public transport passengers in Poznan access to all neccesary information relating to their travel needs.

goEuropa, based at the DkIT technology campus in Dundalk has signed a contract with MPK Poznan - the city transport company in Poznan, Poland that carries over 200 million passengers annually.The contract is for a delivery and management of a web-based passenger information system that will allow public transport passengers to plan their trips through an intuitive map-based facility. It is expected that the website with goEuropa's planner tool will get over 30k hits daily. goEuropa's plans include integration of all operators from the wider Poznan region and an objective to assist over 230 million passengers annually.

Wojciech Kulesza, Sales Director of goEuropa in Poland said:
"Poznan and the wider region have a well developed public transport network. We believe that through improved access to public transport information, we will see an increased transfer from the private car to public transport. The recent rise of oil prices is encouraging consumers to consider alternatives, but this requires efficient and clear information on the options available. As one of the selected Euro 2012 cities, Poznan has provided us with a platform to offer an innovative transport solution to a further Euro 2012 cities."

A LOCAL man is one of four people behind a new transport initiative being rolled out in Dundalk which aims to encourage people to use their cars less. Seamus Crosson, Muirhevna helped to create the 'goEuropa' project which provides timetables and other useful information for all transport in the region via mobile phone while doing a Masters at Dublin City University (DCU).
Users of i-DkIT can access transport timetables and information via their mobile phone, after they have downloaded the software. Apart from the initial download cost, users have free, unlimited access to the system.

Seamus worked on the project which is now operating out of DkIT with Drogheda man Warren Cleland, Kevin Costello from Cavan and Wojciech Kulesza from Poland.
"We are piloting the project in DkIT where the system can be viewed by texting the word dkit to 0858481000. There is huge demand for car park space at the college and this is causing problems," he said.
"Future expansion of the campus is potentially restricted by the demand for car park space. This system will help to promote walking, cycling, car sharing and public transport.

"It will allow the campus to expand by minimising disproportionate investment in car parks, and will create a better campus environment."
Seamus added that they are planning to expand the project in two phases, firstly to the Sustainable Energy Zone and then to the Dundalk/Newry region.

A similiar process is underway in Poznan where the city authority has engaged goEuropa to implement a city-wide system which will be expanded over the coming year by integrating other transport operators in the greater Poznan region.

In addition, a mobile phone system will be launched for travel between Dundalk/Newry and Poznan which will contain all information for connecting ground and air transport links between the two regions.

The software company goEuropa has appointed Genesis Partnerships as its sponsorship and brand partnerships agency.

Genesis Partnerships will be working with goEuropa to develop a sponsorship framework to broker and deliver a series of brand partnerships that utilise the goEuropa application to target customers around major events across Europe.
goEuropa is an Irish-based software application company specialising in providing tailored information to consumers through new media and mobile phones. goEuropa is taking part in a number of European-wide projects, with the main project being the integrated transport information system - a public transport journey planner for travellers. It will do so by providing improved information to consumers on their travel mode choices. goEuropa will have a particular campaign focus on targeting travellers attending major pan-European events.
James Melville, Director of Genesis Partnerships, said: 'We are very excited to be working with goEuropa, and are looking forward to developing robust brand sponsorship and partnership opportunities that reflect the innovation and service provision of the goEuropa brand across Europe.'
Seamus Crosson, goEuropa Director, said: 'The consumer demand for easily accessible, instant and accurate transport and travel information can now be realised through information systems that are downloaded onto an individual mobile phone. The opportunities presented through this simple innovation are far-reaching, but are particularly relevant for information-hungry visitors to large-scale events; and for brands who want to connect in a very specific way with captive and targeted consumers.'

Dundalk Institute of Technology, Ireland is providing a transport information system for all on the Campus which can be downloaded to most mobile phones. It will provide timetable information on all bus and train services to Dundalk, local bus services to / from the town centre and the DkIT car park minibus. The service is free to use on your mobile phone and no text or internet charges will be incurred regardless of how often you may access the information. Occasional updates of the information will be provided to cater for any future changes in the timetables of transport operators. The application can be downloaded to a memory stick or laptop and transferred to your phone by the appropriate phone cable or via bluetooth to enabled phones or you can download automatically from their website
