Multimodal transport network customers need to be directedduring their travels. A travel support tool can be offered by aMultimodal Information System (MIS), which allows them to inputtheir needs and provides them with the appropriate responses toimprove their travel conditions.
The goal of this book is to design and develop methodologies inorder to realize a MIS tool which can ensure permanent multimodalinformation availability before and during travel, consideringpassengers' mobility.
The authors propose methods and tools that help transport networkcustomers to formulate their requests when they connect to theirfavorite information systems through PC, laptop, cell phone,Portable Digital Assistant (PDA), etc. The MIS must automaticallyidentify the websites concerning the customer's services.These sites can, in fact, represent transport services, culturalservices, tourist services, etc. The system should then be able tocollect the necessary travel information from these sites in orderto construct and propose the most convenient information accordingto the user's requests.
