This paper presents an experimental study and a prototype support tool on the Web for planning multimodal routes. The ergonomic specifications underlying the support tool were formulated on the basis of data collected in the study, conducted with future users of the tool. People with different knowledge levels on the relevant transportation means and with different abilities in route planning, had to design routes using two different assistance systems. The first one only presents information, leaving design up to the user; the second system designs the route on the basis of constraints specified by the user. Results show that preference for a system is correlated with the user's knowledge level and competence in route planning. The prototype is being validated via its intended users.
