Multimodal route planners in maritime environment

Rapid development of information and communication technologies (ICT) enables complete distribution of traveler information to end-users through the whole travel. European intelligent transportation system (ITS) architecture defines traveler information as specific functional area, and it comprises static and dynamic information about transport network condition, traveler information services and support for services which perform collection, storage and management of traffic data for planning transport activities. The purpose of this research is to define the concept of development of multimodal route planners in maritime environment which are based on optimal usage of traveler and traffic data. End-users should receive complete traveler information for the entire duration of travel. Majority of present projects and studies is focused on road traveler information and services, but multimodal route planners can be extended at maritime environment, which is the basis of this research
