Business Area Haasrode is, like many other business areas, faced with several mobility problems: too many cars, problematic accessibility by public transport, no comfortable cycle network and no train station in the nearby area. This results in long waiting times for cars, cut-through traffic in the area and of course discontent commuters.
To address this issue M-App, a GPS app, is launched. The app automatically records your daily home-work trip with all the Point of Interest (school children, shops, ....): Route, mode, duration, delays etc ... Where are the bottlenecks for the different modes? You track, M-App detects, everyone learns (companies, governments and employees). In this sense, commuters give input to policy makers and other actors. M-App is a participatory platform for employees.
M-App also advises. It advises you to try something different. Another route, a different time, a different way of moving. Launch the app, choose a pre-registered location (eg. Your workplace, school children ...) and you get different multimodal advices. You can choose what you find the most important: time, distance or CO2 emissions (and cost and calories?). Plus you get a historical overview of your home-work trips.

M-App is an initiative of Voka Flemish Brabant, the City of Leuven, Interleuven, Municipality of Lubbeek, Municipality of Bierbeek, Province Flemish Brabant, Mobiel 21 and Ghent University, commissioned by Agentschap Ondernemen of the Flemish Government.

Caution: continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
