Integrating gis-technology for modelling origin-destination trip in multimodal transportation networks

الملخص EN

This paper presents a system proposing a solution to the problem of Origin-Destination (OD) trip modeling for Multimodal Transportation Networks (MTN) using GIS tools.

An efficient method for the handling of travel information within the MTN consists of dealing with an optimal multimodal routing of travelers from a point of origin to point of destination.

Furthermore, the multimodal travelling alternative offers the promise of efficiency, safety and flexibility.

It allows taking advantage of all modalities by using each transportation mode for the part of the journey to which it is best suited.

Our aim is to propose an effective design for the multimodal path computation within the MTN.

The goal is to provide a travel model that can aid to improve the user’s path decision, where travelling might involve different combination of rail, and route.

Travelers’ can access information about all modes of public transportation and ridesharing available in their area, learn more about emission less forms of transportation and find the fastest, safest routes to their destinations.

GIS was invaluable in the cost-effective construction and maintenance of this work and the subsequent validation of mode sequences and paths selections.
