Viking conferance2 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 conferance7 Price info

Viking conferance8 Maps (GIS) is important add-on information

Viking conferance9 Compare: travel time, price and environment

Viking conferance10 Work together for more information channels, more services and lower costs Example:

Viking conferance12 EU-Spirit – new XML protocol Existing functionality: Planned travel information (stops, addresses, POI) New functionality (not mandatory): Booking and fare information Semi-Real-time and Real-time information Advanced map interaction Accessibility information On-demand traffic Ecological/environment information

Viking conferance13 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-modalmulti-modalco-modal +=

Viking conferance14 Which options exist? car (park&ride) taxi public transport footpath ? + Bike + Flight/plane + Ferry

Viking conferance23 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.
