Today the key challenge for sustainable mobility

and sustainable development is to reduce the

impact of transport on the physical, social and

human environment. Promoting a set of solutions

that aims to optimize the use of existing infrastructures

for road and rail domains, to enhance safety

and security, to reduce exploitation and maintenance

costs and to offer new services to customers

and staff developing inter modal behavior, may

constitute an important contribution. This set of

solutions is based on political decisions, best practice

challenges and technological solutions developed

within several Intelligent Transport Systems

programs all over Europe.

In this context, new information and communication

technologies represent great opportunities

to develop Intelligent Public Transport Systems.

This sector has always been very open for new

technologies innovations but their development

and deployment require integration with existing

public transport environments. New information

and communication technologies are the keys to

optimize exploitation and maintenance costs, to

enhance the friendliness, comfort and security feeling

of public transport by offering new services to

passengers while traveling with the aim to promote

public transport use and multimodal behavior by

optimizing door-to-door mobility. Today, with the

development of "always on" behavior, customers on

board a train ask to receive while traveling the same

information they use to receive at home or at their

office. The Train-IPSAT project aims at developing

such services. This report constitutes the final

report of the work performed regarding "user requirements

analysis" and a technical state of the art on

the technologies suitable to answer the problem.
