The Passenger Experience & Multi Modal Mobility

IPTS - Intelligent Public Transport Systems
The comfort and convenient travel of public transport passengers is becoming an increasing issue in today’s transportation sector. To satisfy customer’s needs it is inevitable for public transport operators to implement new and efficient technologies. As products and solutions offered by IPTS suppliers require a high level of explanation, it is important to communicate. Furthermore the market is filled with pilots and interesting projects. To share information, knowledge and expertise a dedicated event such as IPTS Europe is the right platform.

The Future of Multi Modal Mobility and Passenger Focus
Developments in mobility - both in a physical sense of the word and in the virtual world - are continuing apace. And multi-modal transport, the combination of different transportation types, is increasing in importance. Intelligent (Public) Transport Systems - I(P)TS - have a crucial role to play in providing reliable and efficient travel.
Furthermore the desires and needs of today’s travellers increase in importance for public transport operators. But what are the wishes and requests of public transport user’s? The IPTS Conference will try to answer this question and give ways leading to a more convenient and satisfying transport service for both the operators and passengers.

Modern Public Transport Technology in the Netherlands
The Dutch Public Transport Operators are first movers, when it comes to implementing new technologies. Currently the authorities are busy implementing a countrywide electronic ticketing system, the 'OV chipcard', planned to be finalised by 2008.
Furthermore a metro line, the North/South Line (Noord/Zuidlijn) is under construction in Amsterdam to connect the historic city centre with the city’s North and South districts. The estimated completion date is in 2012. The building site of one of the new stations is directly in front of the RAI Exhibition centre. Thus this will be a good opportunity to inspect this impressive project.

Amsterdam - the international transport hub
Starting as a 13th century fishing village on a river bed, today’s Amsterdam is a major hub for business, tourism and culture. This multicultural city offers plenty of great attractions and locations.

Coinciding with Intertraffic Amsterdam 2008.
