Abstract: A multimodal multimedia transportation information system uses a processor, software, computer signals, and display units to integrate several transportation modes. The system tracks, monitors, collects, extracts, analyzes, processes, forecasts, stores, distributes, and presents transportation information to and from the various transportation modes. The display units are located on buses, ferries, trains, subways, emergency vehicles, airports, etc., and in airports and other buildings where passengers may want real-time transportation information. The system presents real-time data on display units located within a transportation network. This data include scheduling, road conditions, weather, emergency information from state and local governments, routing, closures, status, locations, arrival and departure times, advertisements of products and services, messages, fares, connection times, traffic information, etc.
