Abstract:
A method of informed, multi-modal travel by a user choosing from potential routes to a defined destination includes using real-time travel-related data derived from a plurality of inputs of present traffic flow, emergency and scheduled events, weather, historic traffic trends, and parking conditions at a definite final destination; providing outputs of the process; generating spatial analysis of real-time traffic flow; applying predictive and analytical models with rule-based constraints to selective outputs of these steps; and providing informed traveler user and management mobile access portals. A customer-oriented analytical system supports large-scale transportation management and provide useful information to travelers allowing them to make informed decisions regarding time, duration and mode of travel along with alternative multimodal routes. The system and method are a way of distributing travelers by time, space and mode in order to optimize travel and traffic management.
