“…Finally, in some studies, an easy use of GIS emerges: PPGIS has been used by participants to assign satisfaction scores to locations or to predefined types of locations (6 %) [63][64][65], or it has been simply used as a visualization tool that allows an interaction by users mostly related to data display (8 %) (see Figure 5 for an example) [27,28,66,67]. For what concerns the users involved in the study (defined as Type of Involvement, figure 4b), 44 % of the studies foresees "implicit" involvement, i.e., participants gave the consent for the use of their data in a phase prior to the study, but they are not informed about the aim of the study and about progress and results.…”

“…Several studies (23%) have also focused on the use of PPGIS in the field of project analysis and technical assessment, with the evaluation of quality and efficiency of public transport services [67,[93][94][95]; validation of evacuation systems in the event of an emergency [50,59]; design and evaluation of paths for non-motorized mobility [33,40,55,84,87,96].…”

Transport decision-making problems are typically spatially based and involve a set of feasible alternatives with multiple evaluation criteria. Besides, transport decisions affect citizens’ quality of life, as well as specific interests of general stakeholders (e.g., transport companies), thus needing a participatory approach to decision-making. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have the ability to visualize spatial data and represent the impact of location based transport alternatives, thus helping experts to conduct robust assessments. Moreover, with the recent diffusion of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) and development of Public Participatory GIS (PPGIS) platforms, the process can be enhanced thanks to the collection of a large amount of updated spatial data and the achievement of an active community participation. In this study, we provide an overview based on a structured literature review of the use of VGI and PPGIS in transport studies, exploring the fields of application, role played by GIS, level of public involvement and decision stage at which they are applied. From the overview’s results, we propose a general framework for the evaluation of transport alternatives using GIS from a multiple stakeholder point of view; the main conclusion is the usefulness of the integration between Public Participation, GIS and quantitative evaluation methods, in particular Multi Criteria Decision Analysis, in order to foster technically sound and shared decisions.

“…From the PTO point of view, they can be used for analyzing the data about the current behavior of passengers, and, basing on that, to make predictions and decisions about the future shape of a transport system (e.g. concepts like Flexible Transport Services or Demand Responsive Transport (Mulley, Nelson, Teal, Wright, Daniels, 2012)) or the results of the currently applied measures (Pensa, Masala, Arnone, Rosa, 2014). Passengers use an application supporting a decision-making process to better plan their route and choose the modes of transportation (Vitale, Festa, Guido, Rogano, 2014).…”

Social media are commonly used by organizations to achieve various means. This paper aims on shortly describing both the information-communication technologies (ICT) solutions used in urban public transport systems and social media. In the article, the potential application of social media for public transport operators are discussed on the grounds of the existing literature from this field and conducted analysis. The analysis included presence of three Polish public transport operators in social media.

The main purpose of this research is to present the developed VINTRA system, a comprehensive solution to a fully developed public transit system in Lithuania, and it is very important in encouraging travelers to use public transport. VINTRA is not simply a trip planner; it is capable of planning multimodal public transport trips, using different parameters in public transport trip planning. This system has the functionality to create and edit public transport route trajectories and to edit and calculate timetables according to the distance between stops. This research presents the public transport trip planning parameters procedure of the calculated walking route directions, integrated with the calculation results of public transit routes, as well as combining visualization in digital maps. This paper also discusses how route-planning systems could perform data exchange based on General Transit Feed Specification and how assessment of the public transport trip planning results, compared to the VINTRA system created with Google, was performed.
