DESIGNING AN INTEGRATED TRAVEL INFORMATION SYSTEM

NAAR DE OPZET VAN EEN GEINTEGREERD REIZIGERS INFORMATIESYSTEEM

This paper deals with the issue of providing integrated travel information, i.e. Information concerning the travelling facilities for trips, for which the use of the services of different public transport operators is necessary. At present, travel enquiry clerks spend a lot of time in selecting the required information from the time tables. The paper sets out in detail how the traveller gets the required information at his disposal quickly by automation of the selection procedure. Special attention is paid to the algorithm, which selects the public transport connection from the time tables. In addition the consequences of setting up the system are mentioned and a few other possibilities for using the system are dealt with. The paper finishes with the consideration that setting up an integrated travel information system is advantageous for both the travellers and the public transport operators. The public transport operators should therefore consider whether the introduction of the system is realisable. (Author/TRRL)
