The objective of this study was to find computer-aided means of assistance for co-ordination and integration of Public financed transports and to specify needs for developed methods and planning systems. The pilot study intended to test co-operation between existing computer systems, integrated information and booking systems for transports of disabled and new modes of local Public transports. The southern part of Varberg commune was chosen as a pilot study area. Existing routes operated by low-entry floor buses was used. The licences for the disabled were reproved so that people which could use bus routes with stops within 150 or 20 metres respectively got special licences. Computer co-operation was made between the information system and the booking system for disabled services. The booking operator is instantly prompted if there is any bus route that could be used for the wanted trip. If not, the special services for disabled is used. The computer co-operation has worked very well. The number of trips by special services has decreased by 10% compared to the year before. That is a yearly saving of 0,5 MSEK for the commune of Varberg. People that were directed to the Public bus routes made 5% more trips than before. Almost 40% of the trips were trips made by Public bus routes. No serious difficulties have been noted against increased integration of transport modes and the model for co-operation between computer-aided planning and management systems. Several suggestions for improved computer- and IT-aided databases and methods are noted the report.
