Objective In CONCERT, telematics will be mobilised to test the effectiveness of different ways of boosting public transport in preference to private cars, including price incentives, road-use management, and traveller information. Smart card and multimedia technologies will facilitate user access and payment in a system integrating payment and operational data. Besides this greater convenience, the system will highlight the demonstrable benefits of increased card intelligence and refined road-use management tools. Transferability is a central feature of project proposals to allow for different size cities, as well as variations in fare systems and vehicle density.
