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.
