OptiPEx living labs serve as the core environments for co-creation, integration, and validation of passenger-aware public transport solutions. They enable the project to test technologies and services with real users and stakeholders in both controlled and operational settings, ensuring that solutions are grounded in real-world needs and conditions. The living labs also allow iterative development across different levels of system maturity, from early-stage technical validation to deployment in active public transport services, while supporting the inclusion of diverse passenger groups and contexts.
