2)  IIID Traffic and Transport 2009
     4th IIID Expert Forum Traffic and Transport Information Systems


WEBSITE:
http://www.iiid-expertforum.net/

DATES:
10 - 11 September 2009

LOCATION:
Tech Gate Vienna, Austria

DEADLINE FOR PAPERS:
May 10, 2009

THEME:
This year's event sets out to re-define "integrated transport" and
to discuss traveller information as prominent key for a new era of
mobility. This shifts the focus from "transport" to "mobility"
which implies an analoguous focus-shift from a provider's to a
traveller's point of view. Whilst statistics rather contribute to
polarization by contrasting stagnant or even declining public transport
passenger trips to journeys made by alternative modes of travel (on foot,
by bike, private car, on-demand transport and by plane), why not customize
multimodal concepts to meet yet underestimated traveller needs? The Expert
Forum is geared to discuss market potentials, to promote successful
initiatives in user-centered mobility schemes and to exemplify the key
role of information to make people abandon traditional travelling habits
in exchange for sustainable alternatives with a higher degree of freedom
at reasonable or even lower costs.

Chair: Per Mollerup (Mollerup Designlab A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark +
