13. 2008-10-29Viking 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 +=

14. 2008-10-29Viking conferance14 Which options exist? car (park&ride) taxi public transport footpath ? + Bike + Flight/plane + Ferry

21. 2008-10-29Viking conferance21 Helsinki - Hamburg Four different routes

22. 2008-10-29Viking conferance22 Costs for integration 36.000 € as an initial effort. - Anpassung Suchcontroller 12.000 € - Erfassung Metadaten – global4.000 € - Anpassung Übergangspunkte4.000 € - Aufsetzen eines Fährserver für EU-SPIRIT8.000 € - Integration und Test8.000 € 12.000 € yearly for hosting (done at HaCon as we do for the normal Viking) 12.000 € yearly for maintenance So overall 60.000 € for the first year and 24.000 € for the following years.

23. 2008-10-29Viking 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.
