Green-intelli travel service for public transit based on context awareness

This paper demonstrates a framework of context awareness based multimodal connectivity passenger information system for green-intelli travel services for public transit. A critical issue is developing context awareness services to provide a specific user with his/her context demand along the circumstances related to the complex information of transportation infrastructure. Recent technologies including location tracking of users and transportation modes, real time traffic management, and geographic information are integrated as the primary determinants of the likelihood of making the user oriented services on demand. Field tests of the framework on the test bed yield the proposed system applicable to the personalized service on demand for public transport users along the technologies and infrastructure in wireless communication networks, where a variety of service contents and business models has been considered to be a green intelli-travel services in the near future.
