TRANSPORT4U
INTELLIGENT PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION MANAGER
“The Transport4U project is designed to help organize the public transportation system of metropolitan cities. Such complex transportation systems most often consist of many network layers, such as buses, trams or subways. The main goal of the project is to make public transportation more reliable and easier to use for people who heavily depends on it. The project also attempts to automate many of the everyday actions that are currently manually executed.”
