Three EU projects join forces

The Polite project together with two other European projects, Superhub and RITS-Net, are to join forces in an intermediate open workshop organised by Polite, to generate a common analysis on policy and governance improvements in intelligent transportation systems (ITS) for public transport. The workshop will offer a study visit on public transport management systems and traffic management in an historical city, such as Ferrara.

The workshop will offer a study visit on public transport management systems and traffic management in an historical city, such as Ferrara. According to Patrizia Bianchini, councillor of Territorial Planning, Transport and Mobility for the Province of Ferrara, "Events like the intermediate open workshop are an added value, not only for the project itself, but also because they are the right place where stakeholders, decision-makers, and common citizens can exchange their opinions, share their skills, and increase their knowledge about Infomobility in Public Transport".

The workshop will be followed by a training session on the transfer of collective good practices in infomobility services. The training workshop will consist of three transfer-oriented sessions: public transport and/or multimodal information systems; public transport fleet management systems; and public transport payment systems, where selected external experts will train the Polite partners on the construction of future policies for specific measures that fall under the session topics. These include: the Czech National multimodal journey planner (IDOS); traffic management in an historical city (good practice from Ferrara), advanced public transport ticketing (SkyCash) and bus priority, traveller information/experience and smart ticketing (Cambridge Bus Way).

The two workshops will be held on 18-19 September 2013 in Ferrara, Italy.
