  abstract = {Mobility can be considered as an important factor when it comes to
	assessing ones' quality of life. Today, there are many different
	means of transportation available, each one with its particular advantages
	and drawbacks. Recently, a whole set of new transportation concepts
	made some noise in the world. As an example, consider electric vehicles
	or Car- and Ride Sharing providers. We do not wish to favour the
	one or the other concept, in fact, each mean of transportation has
	its own distinctive charm, depending on the situation. We see the
	future in an intelligent combination of many different means of transportation,
	where the selection is aligned with the traffic participants'€™ preferences
	and requirement, as well as with external factors. Nevertheless,
	any attempt implement an automated assistance is aggravated by the
	distributed nature of the data which is required for such calculation.
	In this paper we tackle this problem and propose an open, extensible
	platform on which (mobility) providers can offer their service in
	a standarised fashion. Based on this platform we present our mobility
	assistance system which supports users with urban trip-planning and
	outnumbers comparable approaches inasmuch as intermodal options are
	considered on yet another level.},
