Sensors (Switzerland), 15(6), 12299-12322. https://doi.org/10.3390/S1506122991424-822010.3390/S150612299https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14454/5267The effectiveness of Intelligent Transportation Systems depends largely on the ability to integrate information from diverse sources and the suitability of this information for the specific user. This paper describes a new approach for the management and exchange of this information, related to multimodal transportation. A novel software architecture is presented, with particular emphasis on the design of the data model and the enablement of services for information retrieval, thereby obtaining a semantic model for the representation of transport information. The publication of transport data as semantic information is established through the development of a Multimodal Transport Ontology (MTO) and the design of a distributed architecture allowing dynamic integration of transport data. The advantages afforded by the proposed system due to the use of Linked Open Data and a distributed architecture are stated, comparing it with other existing solutions. The adequacy of the information generated in regard to the specific user’s context is also addressed. Finally, a working solution of a semantic trip planner using actual transport data and running on the proposed architecture is presented, as a demonstration and validation of the system.eng© 2015 by the authors; licensee MDPI, Basel, SwitzerlandContext-aware computingIntelligent Transportation SystemsLinked Open DataMultimodal transport informationSemantic middlewarejournal article2026-02-26
