Morrison – ALTERNATIVE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE PROVISION OF SPATIAL INFORMATION TO PUBLIC TRANSPORT PASSENGERS IN FRANCE, GERMANY AND SPAIN 1996

Description

This 29-page academic paper, authored by Alastair Morrison from the University of Glasgow, was published in *Transport Reviews* in 1996 (Vol. 16, No. 3, pp. 243-271). It offers a rigorously researched analysis of alternative information technologies for public transport passengers, specifically focusing on France, Germany, and Spain. The document is richly illustrated with 16 figures and 8 plates, presenting various system interfaces (e.g., Minitel, Autoplus), traditional bus stop displays, and proposed ‘zone’ and ‘stop-specific route maps.’ These include both black-and-white and color examples, offering valuable visual context from the period. While some image and OCR quality reflects its scanned journal format, the paper’s academic origin and extensive acknowledgments attest to its high trustworthiness and significance as a primary source for understanding transit information systems development in the mid-1990s.
