Problem Description:

Cross-border travelling often faces the problem that travel information for the entire route is not visible at a glance. In most cases, travellers have to switch between the information systems of the different operators, regions or countries in order to plan their entire journey.

Solution

The LinkingAlps project addresses this problem in the Alpine Space (AS). The aim is to create a standardised exchange service of travel information between the individual travel information service providers. In this way, information can be exchanged between the individual information systems and compiled into a continuous travel chain. Travelers can thus view the entire trip from start to destination on a single service.

LinkingAlps connects Alpine mobility infomration services to foster a modal shift from private to low carbon passenger transport (e.g. public and on-demand), thus offering integrated mobility chains for passenger trips.
