The invention provides seamless journey experience for passenger in multimodal mobility travel using a single ticket for different trip sections and when multimodal operators provide passenger proof-of-transit, smart contracts enable automated fare disambiguation among them. The single truth of passenger travel journey on single ticket in multimodal mobility helps to also develop incentivizations/rewards for passengers, and incentivize modal operator's based on service level agreements in a consortium.

Multimodal mobility facilitating seamless ridership with single ticket

A method for a system. The method may include receiving information regarding a plurality of nodes of the transportation network, a map associated with the transportation network, and a current demand associated with multiple nodes in the transportation network. The method may further include generating, based on the received information, a demand grid related to the transportation network. The method may also include determining a set of service zones based on the received information and the generated demand grid. The method may further include generating, based on the received information and the set of service zones, a model for route optimization. The method may also include determining, based on the model, at least one candidate path for a vehicle associated with the on-demand transportation service.
