In-Time – European intermodal traveller information In spring 2009, the European co-funded In-Time project (Intelligent and Efficient Travel Management for European Cities) was launched when 22 partners, under the coordination of AustriaTech, decided to go a step further. They defined and installed a business-to-business (B2B) interface between the city authorities, including the public transport operators and the navigation service providers, for the exchange of transport related information. After the data and information exchange via this B2B interface, the navigation service providers are prepared to provide to their end-users personalised individual traveller information in real-time by covering all transport modes. The finally agreed and installed In-Time B2B interface was a result
of discussions between the different component and system supplying companies. By having this common agreement between all involved stakeholders a quasi-standard was produced, which is accepted and implemented in six European pilot cities (Brno, Bucharest, Florence, Munich, Oslo, and Vienna).
The core part of the In-Time-services: information on public transport Within this In-Time B2B interface all kinds of public transport modes (bus, tram, underground, train, and plane) are covered. The benefit for city authorities and public transport operators hereby is obvious. By providing information about static public transport timetables and dynamic real-time information like delays via such a commonly agreed interface, it is ensured that all navigation service providers have access to the same information. And they will provide end-user services by giving the first time reliable real-time public transport information. This end-user service provision has the potential to reach
