Advanced traveller information systems for intelligent future mobility: the case of ´Anachb´ in Vienna

Fostering sustainable mobility is regarded as a major goal for the future development of cities. The advanced traveller information systems (ATISs), such as multi-modal route planners are envisioned as tools for enhancing more environment-friendly mobility behaviour. The authors´ recent study that comprises methods of action research and Delphi forecasting, not only evaluates the actual effectiveness, but also the future expectations with regards to ATIS. Therefore the trans-disciplinary research project ´ITSworks´ examined users´ and experts´ perspectives by working within the example of a multi-modal route planner called ´AnachB´ set-up for the city area of Vienna (Austria). Within a ´Test-setting´ 38 users tested the systems for several weeks, whereas 31 international experts discussed the potential of ATISs for promoting sustainable mobility in general.
