Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Public transport can play a crucial role in sustainable mobility. A usable and accessible public transport system can satisfy the demand for long-distance and local mobility with much less emission compared to individual car-based transport. In public transport, a lot of data are generated, in planning for timetables and public transport network planning as well as real-time data, such as sensor data in vehicles, for example.
New concepts for interactive applications for public transport can make public transport more efficient, but also more usable for its passengers. This Special Issue explores new approaches toward interactive applications in public transport. It focuses on innovative interactive applications that aim at enhancing public transport, improving its usability, or gaining insight into public transport operations or planning. We welcome research papers as well as concept papers, short communications, or reviews from interdisciplinary researchers and experts to this Special Issue.
We invite manuscripts on (but not limited to) the following topics:
- Novel concepts and approaches toward interactive applications for public transport information;
- Novel concepts and approaches for interactive applications supporting public transport staff;
- Mobile devices and companion technologies for public transport;
- Usability and/or user experience evaluations of interactive applications for public transport;
- Human factors in interactive public transport information systems;
- Field studies of interactive systems in public transport;
- Multimodal interactive applications for public transport;
- Multidevice interaction in public transport applications;
- Studies on usage behavior of interactive public transport systems;
- Innovative interactive systems for the public transport domain.
This Special Issue is intended to present novel approaches to interactive applications in the field of public transport and to provide insight on the requirements toward innovative interactions in public transport, about applications of interactions research in the public transport domain, and about lessons learned while developing, implementing, and evaluating interactive applications for public transport.
