| Objectives / Innovative Aspects |
The main objectives of this work package will be firstly to reinforce the integration of the different transport information systems, which are often functionally dedicated and/or run by different operators.
The second objective is to strengthen the services that information systems may bring to users. Some of these are already present, but are not presented to users in a unified way.
