A Multi-Modal International Journey Planning System: A Case Study of WISETRIP

The European Union (EU)-funded WISETRIP project aims to enhance existing journey planning services by developing a service for planning multi-modal journeys beyond the EU national borders. Previous projects show some relevance to the current-state-of-practice of multi-modal journey planning systems but gaps include varying approaches to market segmentation, data standardization and the incorporation of real-time information. The reported study in this paper looked at the current practice of Journey Planners (JPs) from a number of EU countries as well as China and Japan. The results show that current practice of JPs in Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands are more advanced than other countries.
