Building bridges between digital transport databases, gis applications and transport models to develop etis software structure

Objective

The objective of the research is the development and implementation of the software structure supporting the European Transport Information System (ETIS). This structure is understood as an open network of descentralised applications, where none of them becomes indispensable. Therefore, links between applications ("bridges") are the crucial aspects of the research.

The research will follow these stages:
- Assessment of future Transport Digital Data market trends: Creation of the Transport Digital Data Sources Guide (DDG)
- Development of an standard format for Data exchange between Transport Models (GTF) in the frame of ongoing Models software modernisation trends
-Development of efficient links and specialisated interfaces for expert-users (SIs) between common transport planning tools: Transport Models, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Database Managers. SIs will be programmed taking full advantage of the own languages of these applications and their self-personalisation and import/export options
-Development of a Decision-support system (DSS) to channel specific queries to ETIS structure
- Development of a user-friendly ETIS Core Interface, which will integrate transport-oriented useful routines on a GIS environment, while providing bridges to external Digital Databases, Transport Models, GIS and other applications (such as Multimedia).
- All software developments (DDG, SI, DSS, CI) will remain within the E.C. IV Research Program. ETIS structure will be implemented on DGVII computer services and institutional and legal aspects related to its maintenance will be analyzed. Periodic demonstration workshops will be organized in Brussels to present research developments to potential users.

A formal coordination with the following consortiums of the IV Framework program has been established under DGVII initiative: STEMM, STREAMS, EUNET, TENASSES, INFOSTAT/OD-ESTIM and COMMUTE Coordination with the research project called TEST (Task 9) will be assured by establishing permanent information exchange between both project coordinators.
