This chapter presents a review of software solutions and services designed to promote the use of multimodal transport. It shows how new trends in the use of ontologies and the Semantic Web, as the generation of ontologies for representing geospatial data or the use of the Web of Data to link standard geographic information, applied to the transport...

The complexity of deployment and high implementation costs impede proliferation of real time location systems, depriving society of the benefits in terms of safety that these systems are capable of providing. The people tracking system presented in this article prioritizes ease of installation and adaptability to new low cost devices in emerging ma...

Railway transportation systems are gaining relevance in their adoption, driven by decreasing costs, higher interconnectivity options and timely operation. The Railway Transportation system is comprised by vehicular elements, as well as several infrastructure elements, which require constant interaction and communication, for tele-control and tele-c...

The effectiveness of Intelligent Transportation Systems depends largely on the ability to integrate information from diverse sources and the suitability of this information for the specific user. This paper describes a new approach for the management and exchange of this information, related to multimodal transportation. A novel software architectu...

This paper describes a new approach for the management and exchange of information related to multimodal transportation. The publication of transport information as semantic information is established through the development of an ontology for multimodal transport and the design of a distributed architecture which allows the integration of the tran...

During the last years, the application of different wireless technologies has been explored in order to enable Internet connectivity from vehicles. In addition, the widespread adoption of smartphones by citizens represents a great opportunity to integrate such nomadic devices inside vehicles in order to provide new and personalized on trip services...

Real Time Location Systems (RTLS) provide great benefits to society in safety and can lead to sensitive information to optimize resource planning in public facilities and major events. The current cost of people locator systems and deployment difficulty hinders installation in multiple scenarios despite the potential benefits posed therein. In this...

The widespread adoption of Smartphone by citizens represents a great opportunity to integrate such nomadic devices inside vehicles in order to provide new on trip personalized digital services for passengers. In this paper a proposal of communication architecture to provide the ubiquitous connectivity needed to enhance the concept of smart train is...

The number of applications used in Intelligent Transportation Systems is growing very quickly. This implies a greater consumption of vehicular network bandwidth hence there could be a high probability of delay of priority requests in this networks. Consequently, an exhaustive control of the bandwidth is needed to provide a Quality of Service accord...

The widespread use of wireless and Internet technologies in transport systems, enables the provision of new intelligent services based on broadband communications between vehicles and traffic control centres (hereinafter vehicle-to-ground communications). There are many broadband management systems but most of them have been designed for non-mobile...

This paper describes a distributed service based on "train-to- earth" wireless communication, which is able to allow maintenance engineers to remotely monitor and update the configuration of the applications running inside a fleet of trains. It is a very useful tool that avoids engineers to move from their offices to trains for doing the maintenanc...

Railway traffic management is performed in an automatic way using centralized systems based on wired sensors and electronic elements fixed on the tracks. In spite of these systems, called Centralized Traffic Control systems (CTC), are robust and highly available, when they fail the traffic management must be done manually, increasing the probabilit...

This paper describes an innovative broadband (WiFi) communications manager designed to manage “train-to-earth” communications. This communications manager aims to deal with applications communication needs and make decisions about what applications can communicate in each moment taking into account broadband features, application priorities and tra...

This paper illustrates the strategy followed for the management of broadband wireless communications in a hybrid network (mobile/radio). This management allows the optimization of both bandwidth and transmission rate of the applications deployed in the ground control stations (terrestrial applications) and onboard systems (train applications). It a...

This paper describes a next-generation architecture for wireless communications, based on mobile phone carriers (GPRS) and broadband (WiFi), developed for the field of railways and allowing "train-to-earth" communications. This communication channel aims to complement traditional railway communication systems and its benefits make the deployment of...
