Telmap, the white-label mobile location-based service provider for carriers around the world, introduced multi-modal routing as part of its involvement with the pan-European In-Time project.
Here’s what you need to know about the In-Time project (from the press release):
The In-Time project will pilot and validate an innovative pan-European approach to Real Time Traffic and Travel Information (RTTI) services. The reliable and real-time delivery of these services to the individual traveler and to traffic management centers is likely to reduce drastically energy consumption in urban areas, across different modes of transport. The traveler is expected to change his travel behavior according to the information he/she receives, opting for the most efficient and quickest modes for his/her travel journey.
Telmap will provide the In-Time project with multi-modal, door-to-door routing that includes all available transportation forms such as walk, drive, buses, undergrounds and trams, flights and more. The service will initiate in six cities across Europe, including Munich, Florence, Vienna, Bucharest, Oslo and Brno, with additional cities expected to come on-board afterwards.
The company will first release the Symbian S60 application which will most likely be followed with the version for other platforms in the future…
