SUMMARY
Information and communications technology can increase infrastructure usage, improve safety, enhance travellers access to information and reduce transportation times as well as fuel consumption. Therefore advanced Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are becoming increasingly widespread as a mean of optimizing transit operations and infrastructure usage. However, models currently used to describe and predict passengers lows across the network do not take adequately into consideration the effects brought about by ITS on transit operations and on user behavior. Hence, transport planning based onto ITS is not completely meaningful and does not exploit to the full the amount of high quality data made availabl. This deficiency can delay the realization of the benefits of enhanced passenger information provision.
The project aims to gathers together researchers in the field of transport and urban and regional planning, transport operators and authorities, consultancies and software developers. The main goal is to exchange knowledge and research in the field of transit assignment models, tailored to the era of Intelligent Transport Systems.
