Peter Pollesch · 1997
BAYERNINFO is a project initiated by Bavaria-Online as part of the Offensive for the Future of program of the Bavarian State Government and is being financed by the Free State of Bavaria with approximately DM 9 million. The project is being supported by the participating partners from industry with an amount of DM 8.5 million. BAYERNINFO is running from 1995 to 1998. The aim of the BAYERNINFO project is to develop a supra-regional traffic information system consisting of a state-wide traffic information center and two information centers for the conurbation areas of Munich and Nuremberg. These centers are responsible for making dynamic traffic analyses and forecasts and for providing current traffic situation reports and timetable information for road users in Bavaria. Additional objectives are the development of the electronic timetable information (EFA) into a current information system for public transport and the use of small, portable mobility planners for information to road users before and during their journey. All the relevant information is also to be available in the Internet
