(a) The implementation of a digital government as well as the development and popularization of an IT based system information for land, sea and air transport systems must be supplied to improve the safety, usability, and productivity of a system and increase the number of services, and improve the efficiency of the transport infrastructure. Providing across the board transport information should increase competition between transport services including the family car. This as well as introduction of TDM8 is needed.
