IIID Traffic&Transport 2010
5th International IIID Expert Forum Traffic & Transport Information
Systems
The world's leading event in the field.
Real time information in multimodal transport networks
9 —11 September 2010, Tech Gate Vienna, Austria
Why not save time and money by combining various transport modes for
travelling to work or for leisure? Real time information can help determining
the fastest possible journey, often a combination of private and public
transport.
Technical requirements and user preferences/needs apply. The Expert Forum
will focus on the latter and how travel alternatives can be made obvious
by intelligent information design.
Organiser:
International Institute for Information Design (IIID)
Conference language:
English
Programme:
online soon
Objectives:
Prefernces of travellers are not only determined by the overall speed of
journeys. Other parameters are, in varying degrees: reliability, comfort,
safety and costs.
Reliability (or maybe better: lowest possible uncertainty) intrinsically
determines the perception of the overall travel time. Thus the probability
of unexpected delays - due to traffic congestions, vehicle break-downs
or other accidents - and effective system management precautions to counteract
irregularities must play an important role in the communication between
transport providers and travellers.
Themes the Expert Forum is expected to cover:
- Real time information in multimodal transport systems (main topic)
- Harmonization of real time information communicated in stations, at
stops, on web sites,
mobile phone displays, via loud speakers etc.
- Real time information in case of "Out of Service" or irregularities
(e.g. because of an accident)
- Real time information in atypical transport situations (e.g. replacement
bus services)
- Combining real time passenger information with real time road traffic
information
- Real time information at traffic junctions/hubs to facilitate the speedy
transfer/change from
one transport mode to another.
