Integrated Information and Management System for Traditional and Demand-Responsive Mobility Services in City of Milan, Italy
This paper presents a progress report on DREAMS, a web-based integrated information and management system for urban transportation services, designed specifically for the city of Milan, Italy. The role of DREAMS is to connect the demand side and the supply side in passenger urban transportation. The direct objective of the system is to enable single persons or groups to organize their trips using modes different from the private car, even in areas that are not intensively served by public transportation. The core of the system is the travel planner module, which proposes a set of travel solutions for a specific trip taking into account several transportation modes and systems, including: mobility with private cars using the road network and the park system, the local public transportation, the taxi services, and demand-responsive services (dial-a-ride, car-pooling, and car sharing). The paper also provides a concise description of two software tools, being developed within DREAMS, to plan and manage dial-a-ride and car-pooling services.
