PROMISE, a project in the DRIVE/ATT framework, is currently implementing pilot tests of traveller information services in two European cities. Applications based on portable terminals will be developed for providing interactive multi-modal traveller information to the users. The paper describes the two-way PROMISE traveller information services as they are implemented in the Gothenburg pilot installation scheduled to start in January '94. Based on the GSM cellular network and its Short Message Service (SMS), the users may request real-time traveller information from several existing information sources e.g. for public transport, parking availability, road traffic information and road weather forecasts.
