We present an advanced traveler information system (ATIS) for public and private transportation, including vehicle sharing and pooling services. The ATIS uses an agentbased architecture and multi-objective optimization to answer trip planning requests from multiple users in a co-modal setting, considering vehicle preferences and conflicting criteria. At each set of users' requests, the transportation network is represented by a co-modal graph that allows decomposing the trip planning problem into smaller tasks: the shortest routes between the network nodes are determined and then combined to obtain possible itineraries. Using multi-objective optimization, the set of uservehicle-route combinations according to the users' preferences is determined, ranking all possible route agents' coalitions. The ATIS is tested for the real case study of the Lille metropolitan area (Nord Pas de Calais, France).

“…Users foremost contribute through consultation, a bi-directional flow of information intended to gather feedback, during user studies. This involvement constitutes itself primarily through questionnaires, allowing to observe changes in, for instance, participants travel behaviour [17] [14] [13]. Furthermore interviews [17] [14] [13] [7] and diaries [17] give information about the users' experience with a system.…”

Urban mobility poses one of the pressing challenges in cities undergoing growing urbanisation. In order to cope with this issue, a shift in behaviour is necessary towards more sustainable means of transportation. Technology can mediate the process of behaviour change, and concepts such as persuasive technology and reflective learning are approaches in this context. In order to investigate currently envisioned or implemented technological solutions, particular in the context of the smart city notion, this paper presents a systematic literature review. Three areas are thereby of interest: the utilised technology, behaviour change strategies, and citizen participation in the development process of the interventions. A total of 14 different applications were included in the final review. The findings show that mobile devices are being prevalently used, persuasive strategies are foremost mentioned, and end-user involvement is happening late in the development process and serves primarily testing purposes. This points out that there are still various unexplored possibilities in the aforementioned areas. It is suggested that future research should explore opportunities stemming from ubiquitous technology, employ behaviour change strategies grounded in reflective learning, and approach the current shortcomings in citizen involvement with participatory methods. IntroductionCities are increasingly gaining in importance and are considered driving forces of the future [1]. This development stems foremost from growing urbanisation, with more and more people moving and living in urban areas. As of 2016, 54.5% of the world's population were estimated to be living in urban settlements, current trends forecast an increase to 60% in 2030 [28]. Rapid growth assigns cities a significant social, economic and environmental function [1], but also lets them face complex challenges in the process. In this context, the concept of "smart cities" has been coined to indicate cities that devise strategies to mitigate those challenges in a smart way [12]. Some of these challenges are indicated by greenhouse gas emissions. According to Hildermeier and Villareal [18], urban transport makes up approximately a quarter of CO 2 emissions with respect to overall transport. With 73.7% cars represent thereby the prevalent form of travel. Urban transport hence exerts ample influence on the quality of life in a city, being a causer of traffic congestion, noise-and air pollution [18], having harmful effects on public health. Consequently, cities need to respond to this issue by reducing car usage and increasing the utilisation of more sustainable means of urban mobility, such as walking, biking or public transportation, in other words a change in behaviour is inevitable. Technology is noted for being a "key driver" within smart city initiatives [12]. It can also be utilised to foster behaviour change, here the notion of "persuasive technology" is well-established. Persuasive technology, that is "any interactive computing system designed to change people's...

Having criticized the current architecture of Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATISs), this work discusses a new base of requirements to develop a new paradigm for traffic information systems. It mainly integrates three dimensions within a traffic system; drivers' pattern of behavior and preferences, urban traffic desires, and capabilities of traffic information service providers. Based on the above, functional segments from several related backgrounds are brought together to structure a new architecture, called Interactive Traveler Information System (ITIS). The main interactive feature of this new architecture is a two-way communication track between drivers and the traffic information system provider-in fact, a decision on choosing a road at a particular time for an individual will be made based on the utility of both sides. This new configuration consists of driver-side smartphone application, centric traffic prediction, and decision-maker units, which will shape a new approach of decision-making processes. These all work together to satisfy the designated goal of ITIS that it is preserving the Wardrop equilibrium condition in the traffic network level. Finally, we concentrate on a comparison study, which shows a differentiation between performance of the proposed ITIS and the current ATIS model in a real situation. This has been done with simulations of analogical scenarios. The most noticeable advantage of the proposed architecture is not being limited to a saturation limit, and the positive effect of increasing system penetration in the performance of the newly introduced information system. In conclusion, new research subjects are suggested to be carried out.
