Panel session: Voice for Transport
summary
Multimodal platforms connect Alexa, Google Assistant, Facebook Messenger and SMS to rail and travel backends, using OpenNLP and Duckling for NLP and date parsing and supporting account linking and Android Auto/Apple CarPlay. Proofs include an Alexa airline booking POC, a hotel concierge with Marriott and an on‑site bot; usage jumps from 25 users/day to 10,000 users/day (about 0.8% of traffic) and satisfaction reads high. The stack enables digital ticketing and white‑label deep integrations; transactions work but overall adoption remains early.
