Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Technological, data and user requirements must be met in order to provide an effective traveller information system. The first two requirements are actively being addressed. This programme aims to expand the scope and detail of understanding of user requirements Current and proposed systems will be reviewed to identify salient features and commonalities. Relevant traveller information literature will also be reviewed. Feedback from discussion groups will also contribute to development of a simulation tool which will allow a prototype traveller information system to be evaluated. The user interface will be able to interrogate a database of detailed information associated with a library of tripmaking scenarios representative of tripmaking at local, regional, national and international levels. The tool will be designed to run on a laptop PC. Suitable business and community groups (and other sites and venues) will be indentified to allow collection of user requirement information from subjects. Subjects will use (and comment on) the systems in order to plan a number of trips selected from the library. A detailed analysis of the collected information will aim to synthesise a series of generic user requirement factors leading to recommendation and guidelines for future development of effective systems to provide (pre-trip) information.
