The Enhanced WISETRIP project aims at bringing new possibilities for planning, booking and travelling multimodal journeys adapted to all user needs, multiple trip criteria, environmental impact and personal preferences.

THE PROJECT

Enhanced WiseTrip advances the state-of-the-art towards efficient and green planning of multimodal international trips, through its unique mixture of features:

• Inclusion of a wide grid of criteria that form the basis of variant trip strategies and govern selection process either at planning or at trip redesign phase. Criteria include CO2 footprint, elderly and disabled preferences, typical factors (time, cost, hops) and various user-specific options.
• Acknowledging user requirements by addressing door-to-door journey planning; considering real-time event data and information on extraordinary conditions (strikes, disasters, extreme weather); and offering the possibility of integrated ticketing
• Use of the most advanced mobile interfaces (handheld and in-vehicle devices).
• Expansion of the geographical coverage and of the number of transport modes supported by the existing open platform for the interconnection of Journey Planners (www.wisetrip.travel); including international railway, car and cycle routing and more countries.
• Strong dissemination across European and non-European countries
