IIID Traffic&Transport Information Systems 2011: Traffic, Transport and Social Media

From 05.12.2014 Symposium

Presented 8-9 September 2011, in Vienna (Austria) by the (IIID), this sixth forum addresses How transport providers and mobility enablers can use social media to better communicate with their customers.

Social media facilitates the generation and communication of ideas and information in a much more convenient way than traditional platforms, i.e. regulars' tables, daily newspapers, etc. Moreover, social media makes market research obsolete by providing public opinion at little or no cost. Thus, transport providers and mobility enablers (e.g. companies that build and maintain passenger terminals/roads/motorways/parking garages) would be well advised to adjust their Customer-Relationship-Management efforts.
