Future traveller information systems (FTIS) supported by pervasive computing are being considered as the next generation of traveller information systems. However, large scale deployments of pervasive computing environments do not yet exist. Building models or mockups of FTIS is expensive and time-consuming. This paper introduces current research at Newcastle University which is investigating t...

Our proposition is based on the EASI model (Environment as an Active Support for Interactions) which implements the concept of the mutual awareness in the multi agent domain. The goal is to permit agents to evolve in a strongly interactional environment. We have applied our proposition to the ...
