Abstract

The paper presents the concept and results for the development of a multi-modal passenger information system on the web for the Attika Region, Greece. This is an ambitious on-going project, which aims at collecting & processing real time and historical traffic and transit data in order to synthesize dynamic guidance through the Region's web portal. The main innovation is the use of a dynamic traffic assignment tool, which will exploit the available real time data in order to estimate travel time forecasts for the entire urban, peri-urban and interurban road network. On top of that, public transport schedules will be collected and maintained in order to calculate public transport alternative routes for the internet users. To show the complexity of this task alone, the Attika Region comprises of 9 different transit modes.
