Conference VIKING multimodal travel planning, CopenhagenOctober 28-29, 2008 • European travel planning (Co-modal and seamless) • By Krister Nordland Viking conferance
Content • The customer need of seamless multi-modal travel planner information on a European level (country based travel planners are not seamless) • Information about possibilities in new EU-Spirit XML-protocol • Suggestion to integrate EU-Spirit and VIKING ferry/car –routing. Viking conferance

EU-Spirit – new XML protocol Existing functionality: • Planned travel information (stops, addresses, POI) New functionality (not mandatory): • Booking and fare informationSemi-Real-time and Real-time informationAdvanced map interactionAccessibility informationOn-demand trafficEcological/environment information Viking conferance
Simplicity Seamless co-modal traffic information • Which options exist to get from one point to another? • Comparison of several alternatives:- public transport (e.g. bus, train, plane)- individual transport (e.g. bike, car)- combinations of both inter-modal + multi-modal = co-modal Viking conferance
Which options exist? car (park&ride) taxi public transport footpath ? + Bike + Flight/plane + Ferry Viking conferance

Costs for integration • 36.000 € as an initial effort.- Anpassung Suchcontroller 12.000 €- Erfassung Metadaten – global 4.000 €- Anpassung Übergangspunkte 4.000 €- Aufsetzen eines Fährserver für EU-SPIRIT 8.000 €- Integration und Test 8.000 € • 12.000 € yearly for hosting (done at HaCon as we do for the normal Viking) 12.000 € yearly for maintenance • So overall 60.000 € for the first year and 24.000 € for the following years. Viking conferance
Conclusions Conclusion 1 • European GPS-based car travel planners (including ferries) exist in many cars. • It is time for public transport to reach the same level (=integrate EU-Spirit with ferry/car-routing) Conclusion 2 • Multimodal seamless travel planning must be not country-wise but european based (=Easyway)Example: The Öresund region can not have a traffic information border.
