It will supply its mobility data platform to Berlin’s public transport operator to plan 150 parking zones and parking order mobility hubs across the city.
Berlin public transport operator, Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG), is partnering with mobility data platform Vianova to gain insight and analytics to better link public transport and shared mobility services.
Vianova reports that it is the first time that data from e-scooters and carsharing will be used in Germany to determine the effective use of micromobility.
BVG will use Vianova’s Cityscope platform to plan 150 parking zones and parking order mobility hubs across the German capital.
According to BVG, the number of sharing vehicles that can be booked via its Jelbi app has grown to more than 70,000. The mobility app is home to e-scooter and e-bike fleets from operators like Tier, Voi, Lime among others and all of these services, as well as Berlin’s entire public transport network, are accessed via the app.
“The only way to truly unlock the power and potential of shared services is to have greater insight over how those services are being used,” said Markus Luebeck, head of market development Dach at Vianova.
“The adoption of such services in Berlin in recent years is a testament to both BVG’s innovative approach to transportation, as well as the fleet operators it has partnered with.”
He continued: “Our insights at Vianova will help build on this success; from keeping the streets safer and tidier for all, to better regulation and stronger transport links designed to bring the city and its residents closer together.”
Vianova’s mobility analytics software leverages data from more than one million connected vehicles every day to provide partners with advanced geo-intelligence.

Policymakers, transport and urban planners, consulting firms, data scientists and more can use this data to gain insights and analytics, not only about their own services but through shared, collaborative insights accessible using Vianova’s Data Exchange.
Vianova reports the award from BVG follows a number of successful collaborations with other European cities in recent years. In 2020, it helped Zurich understand how to better integrate shared mobility solutions into its public transport lines and enforce regulations on micromobility to tackle a growing issue with pavement clutter. Through an ongoing partnership, Vianova is enabling the city to create better transport offerings and increase sustainability.
Similarly, through a partnership with Bruxelles Mobilité, Vianova helped Belgian authorities to identify the most frequented shared mobility streets. This informed the city’s plans to build over 40km of pop-up cycle lanes, introduce 120 new geofenced policy zones and reduce sidewalk clutter, which, it claims, led to a fivefold increase in shared mobility usage and cut the number of street patrols by 30 per cent.
