DORA App

The DORA App provides a complete Door-To-Door-Information Service for landside transport options, the flight connection and the terminal situation at the airport. The app is a prototype for the relation Berlin (Germany) – Palma de Mallorca (Spain) in the project´s demonstration phase.

The essential component of the app is a multimodal routing service which is based on real time data for road, rail and flight traffic with additional functionalities for indoor-routing and waiting time detection at the airport. In case of gate changes, delays, road closures or other incidents, the passenger will be proactively informed by the included trip monitoring functionality.
