To encourage travellers to make use of different modes of transport, the switch from onemeans of transport to another has to be smooth and easy. This requires reliable and efficientcommunication between the different transport modes. The TRIDENT project is developingmechanisms for the sharing and exchange of common data to enable and support multi-modalservices.TRIDENT is a 30 month research and development project co-funded by the EuropeanCommission under the DG IST Programme. The goal of the project is to develop the commonmechanisms that are required for sharing and exchanging data between transport operators andauthorities about different modes (bus/tram/metro, rail and road). It will also investigate andpropose solutions for organisational and strategic issues hampering travel intermodality. Thiswill lead to proposals for new standards as well as to recommendations supporting theimplementation of systems based on the project's results.
