Abstract: TRANSASIST is an intelligent system for the management of circulations in urban environment, based on modern information and communication technologies at European standards level. The system manages different types of information regarding the urban transport and integrates GIS environment for work with vectorial digital maps, multimedia techniques, solutions for complex data acquisition and wireless communication technologies. TRANSASIST is a dynamic system that allows on-line information and management of complex data structures regarding the urban road transport infrastructure and characteristics. In the TRANSASIST system development, a modern approach based on UML technology has been used. TRANSASIST helps citizens to travel across urban areas by finding the best route between two points offering solutions for public transport, private transport and pedestrian movement.

Keywords: Intelligent management system, urban transport, wireless communication technologies.
