Short distance public transport faces huge challenges, although it is very important within a sustainable transport system to reduce traffic emissions. Revenues and subsidization are decreasing and especially in rural regions the offer is constantly diminishing. New approaches for public transport systems are strongly needed to avoid traffic infarcts in urban and rural areas to grant a basic offer of mobility services for everyone. In the proposed work a demand centered approach of dynamic public transport planning is introduced which relies on regional traffic data. The approach is based on a demand model which is represented as a dynamic undirected attributed graph. The demands are logged through traffic sensors and sustainability focused traveler information systems.
In this paper a demand model for future public transport systems is proposed to introduce a new steering opportunity for local traffic agents and public transport associations. This demand model is used to achieve a more dynamic customer oriented public transport system to ensure the mobility of the population and at the same time minimizing emissions. In term of Green IS the proposed solution shows new ways to organize and manage public transport systems in more sustainable way by using ICT based solutions.
