Advanced Mobility and Transport Engineering (ePub)

Multimodal transport network customers need to be directed
during their travels. A travel support tool can be offered by a
Multimodal Information System (MIS), which allows them to input
their needs and provides them with the appropriate responses to
improve their travel conditions.

The goal of this book is to design and develop methodologies in
order to realize a MIS tool which can ensure permanent multimodal
information availability before and during travel, considering
passengers' mobility.

The authors propose methods and tools that help transport network
customers to formulate their requests when they connect to their
favorite information systems through PC, laptop, cell phone,
Portable Digital Assistant (PDA), etc. The MIS must automatically
identify the websites concerning the customer's services.
These sites can, in fact, represent transport services, cultural
services, tourist services, etc. The system should then be able to
collect the necessary travel information from these sites in order
to construct and propose the most convenient information according
to the user's requests.
