Abstract

The present chapter focuses on the Location Based Context-aware Mobile Services (LBCAMS) in the context of the most recent technological advances in Decision Support Systems for the transport sector. The chapter demonstrates the rationale for the introduction of the Location Based Context-aware Mobile Services and the state of the art of the location-based services in the field of transport. In addition, a typology of market orientations is developed, including the demand side of context-ware mobile services in the field of transport. The chapter also introduces the theoretical outline of a five-layer model, studying the Location Based Context-aware Mobile Services, in a Decision Support System context, for applications in the transport sector. In order to advance understanding, some indicative applications are presented, on road safety and urban parking management and finally conclusions are drawn and future research orientations are explored.
