Multimodal traveller information services need to cross borders – especially when travelling abroad: Therefore interoperable, multimodal traveller information services should not stop at national, regional or even the organisational borders of the respective service providers. But this reality looks differently today.

Starting in 2012 the European project EDITS (implemented through the Central Europe Programme) tackled this problem by creating a system that allows for transnational and trans-organisational cooperation. 13 partners from five European neighbouring countries in Central Europe committed themselves to exchange transport-related data covering public transport as well as road transport with the aim of providing accurate and seamless services to travellers. Based on a harmonised system architecture and common specifications for the cross-border data exchange the EDITS service has been implemented and tested within three main demonstration areas, including the CENTROPE region (Austria, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Hungary), the triangle area covering Austria-Italy-Slovenia, as well as the Italian bordering provinces of Modena and Ferrara.

You are kindl invited to the EDITS conference taking place on the 3rd of December 2014 in Vienna to find out about the EDITS concept and to try out “live” the developed solutions (approx. 10 different web- or app-based EDITS-related traveller information services).
