Abstract: Background: In multimodal transport the interplay of coordination methods and legal requirements is a challenging task. To address the latter, a combined approach for the coordination of a multimodal passenger transport system in accordance with European data protection law is required. Method: As a first step the paper analyses coordination related delays and outlines a combined optimisation problem. The problem formulation spans the strategic, tactical and operational level, to identify information requirements depending on coordinationmechanisms. The European legal systemregularly sets a pioneering standard, often serving as a model for other countries. Additionally, European data regulations frequently influence international data flows, as references to European traffic standards are often indispensable. To ensure compliance with data protection legislation, in a second step, this paper analyses the European Union’s legal framework for the protection of personal and non-personal data. Result: A respective system architecture for the integration of selected methods is proposed and the resulting analysis outlines the legal requirements for data usage under the Data Governance Act (DGA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Conclusions: Achieving a sustainable and efficient transportation system requires a balanced integration of advanced data-driven solutions and legal strategies, ensuring system efficiency and compliance with EU protection laws.
