EU Travel: an optimodal platform

The potential societal, environmental and economic benefits of multimodal travel information, planning and ticketing services are huge. Societal benefits arise from supporting passenger rights to information, including those with special needs. Environmental benefits result from itineraries optimised for environmental criteria and increased use of public transport and other modes, such as cycling and walking. Economic benefits include new business opportunities for service providers in a growing market.

EuTravel delivers an Ecosystem promoting and supporting Optimodal travel which is populated with tools that tap into existing mainstream IT travel reservation systems and sources of travel data.

Plan your journey fast and easy

Daily trips, business travels, and even more vacation journeys are now can be planned easier, faster and cheaper through journey planners (JP). Therefore, leave your car and download a JP application!

First of all, let us clarify our terminology. A journey planner is a specialised electronic search engine used to find the best journey between two points using some means of transport. JP applications are web and smartphone applications which compute the most cost – effective route involving several nodes by minimizing one or more than one criteria, such as distance, time, travel cost and environmental impact.

Plan your trip within Adriatic macro region

TISAR faced the lack of a multimodal travel planning system in the Adriatic area. Such topic is very relevant in the Adriatic macro-region since mobility difficulties in the use of public transport are increased by the lack of information available in the area and the great lack of integration and interaction between the systems.​
