what are my travel options?-walk-cycle-vehicle/auto-bus/public transit
what are my cheap & safe travel options?-walk-cycle-vehicle/auto-bus/public transit
can i travel by bus/public transit?
-is there a bus to my destination?-where is the bus stop?-when will my bus come?-how long will my trip take?-how comfortable will it be?-how much money will i save?-can i make my journey faster by switching travel modes?-what are my alternatives?
who has that information?
-conductors-commuters-bus stations-bus authorities
who has that information closest to home?
-conductors-commuters-bus stations-bus authorities
how commuters help
they can quickly give you best routes and alternatives to reach your destination using different modes based on current situationand your requirments
the problem:
the problem:�nding the helpful commuter when you need him
which meanswe need to replicate his knowledge model and make it more easily accesible
Create a Public Information System THAT HELPS
A Commuter<=
how current systems work:you give your start and end points, and system suggests best route
how current systems work:you give your start and end points, and system suggests best route
but doesnt tell youhow reliable the suggestions is or otheroptions you can take
if your bus doesnt turn upand theres nobody to help you
if your bus doesnt turn upand theres nobody to help you
your pretty much screwed
what the system needs- simplify the overly complicatedtransit network by identifying patterns- give information that commuters canlearn from- enable the commuter to make better travel decisions by giving options
variables that can be organised
- bus number patterns- cost- types of service, comfort- distance- journey time- changeover points- transfer and wait times- reliability and frequency- mode of travel
