ABSTRACT
ATIS (Advanced Travel
Information Systems) are complex systems, dealing with a large amount of
heterogeneous data from various sources. The exchange and integration of such
data is therefore demanding, particularly for small mobility service providers
with few IT (Information
Technology) resources. To face this
problem, this work illustrates an IT infrastructure to support information and service integration. On a conceptual level, this paper presents a travel information
system architecture and respective information flows between components, e.g.,
intermodal routing, pricing and accounting. As realization, the authors developed and tested a
communication adapter that enables and eases information exchange between the ATIS and
heterogeneous second party service providers, e.g., carsharing operators.
Furthermore, the authors developed a method of
extending traditional public transportation routing using the exchanged
information about sharing services. This enables travelers to query intermodal
itinerary information combining public transport, bikesharing as well as
carsharing services using a single application. The overall system was tested
in a three-month testing phase. Initial results are promising.
