Project Description
The ultimate aim of the project is to promote sustainable urban mobility and the use of public transport through the research and development of new information methods and technologies for planning of urban journeys by travellers.
The project thus puts forward the experimental development of a traveller support system to choose itineraries and modes of transport in urban settings that is comprehensive, supports the use of sustainable transport, encourages the use of public transport, is reliable and genuinely useful for travellers, capable of raising travellers' trust in the journey recommendation information and that has a relevant impact on improving mobility by increasing the use made by users.
The development of the system involves overcoming a series of technological and social challenges and a series of innovations with regard to the current state of the art:
Following the development of the system, there shall be three pilot cases, offering different scenarios for validating the system (Valencia, Zaragoza, Barcelona).
