IVU.journey

Optimum journey planning from door to door

IVU.journey.planner computes the best public transport connection at the touch of a button – by bus, tram, train, taxi or bicycle, including the distances to be covered by foot to and from the stop. In combination with the rapid routing algorithm, the highly scalable system allows a high number of queries in large transport networks. Complex route recommendations are computed in a fraction of a second. A flexible layout description language allows customised solutions to be created in a cost-effective manner. Further modules make it easier to use IVU.journey, and the map display helps people to find their way. Detailed information about accessibility and the possibility of receiving further information from a call centre or the mobile Internet direct to your mobile phone while travelling simplify the use of public transport.

The optimum fare:

IVU.journey.tariff informs passengers of the cheapest routes available. The fare consultant displays the possible tickets and fares, not just for every required connection, but also for every combination of routes and travel times required by the customer. This means that customers can decide whether they would be better off buying a weekly ticket for all their comings and goings over the next few days.
