“…Without openness and availability of traffic data, travel planning systems cannot be fully useful, and therefore attractive to the end user. According to EU directives, each member state establishes a National Access Point (NAP) that will represent a single access point for accessing travel data (static and real-time) of various modes of transport [28,29]. To provide a recommendation aligned with the preferences of the end user (in this case-drivers), the recommendation system requires information about user preferences in two ways: explicitly (through posed queries, service/product ratings; the so-called setup profile) and implicitly, i.e., by tracking user behavior and discovering and recording preferences [30].…”

With urbanization, there is a growing need for mobility. Challenges for urban drivers include finding available parking spaces. Searching for a parking spot can be a frustrating experience, often time consuming and costly. Also, the increasing number of vehicles on the roads leads to an additional strain on traffic flow, while the search for parking spaces lowers the level of service. In inner cities, vehicles circulate in search of an available parking space, leading to an increase in travel time, fuel consumption, pollutant emissions, and a decrease in traffic safety. The search for a free parking space generates a significant increase in traffic in urban areas. To solve the parking search problem, it is necessary to develop certain strategies and measures that minimize circling in search of a parking space. The implementation of intelligent transportation systems stands out. By applying intelligent transport systems, drivers are provided with information about free parking spaces, which reduces the circulation of vehicles in search of free parking. Although initially ITS systems mainly provided services for closed parking lots and garages, with the further development of the system, the service was extended to street parking lots or open-type parking lots. These measures not only solve traffic challenges but also promote sustainability in urban areas. This article analyzes the effect of a cooperative approach of guiding vehicles to available parking spaces compared to a standard model of searching for an available parking space. Within the framework of the advanced model for searching for available space, four parking demand scenarios were defined and simulated. Based on the created traffic simulation, a comparative analysis was made between the classic and cooperative approach, while the primary differences are manifested in the load of the traffic flow A simulation model was developed using the road network from the urban center of Zagreb.

“…OGD refers to the online publishing of datasets in user‐friendly formats (CSV, XLS, JSON, and the like) that are linked with governmental/administrative activities and these datasets are available without any conditions or fee (Attard et al, 2015). The purpose of any OGD initiative at all the levels of administration (Central, State and Local) cutting across different ministries and departments is to bring about transparency in its public service delivery mechanisms (Saxena & Alexopoulos, 2022; Wirtz et al, 2017) and to bolster the citizens to re‐use these datasets for value co‐creation and innovation (Ali et al, 2022; Hellberg & Hedstrom, 2015; Mandzuka et al, 2022). OGD initiatives have been phenomenal in the sense that they are known to promote economic growth (Leviakangas & Molarius, 2020; World Bank, 2021).…”

Whilst extant literature on Open Government Data (OGD) focuses upon value creation and innovation, there is scant emphasis upon the Value Co‐Creation (VCC) that might result with the engagement of the public sector agencies and the users at large. The present study seeks to appreciate the barriers towards OGD VCC by adopting a qualitative research methodology wherein interviews are being conducted with key personnel manning the OGD initiatives in Brazil. Impediments veering around VCC may be counted the internal, social and cultural and data factors. Findings from the present study lend credence to the fact that a systematic strategizing is important for the success of OGD VCC lest Value Co‐Destruction (VCD) happen. From a developing country's perspective, the present study acts as a sounding‐board for bearing in mind the caveats deduced vis‐a‐via the success of the VCC processes.
