摘要: |
This report contains the results of an investigation into one area of technological advancement-computer dispatching and scheduling technology. The central research question was whether computer dispatch technology is, or will be, capable of effectively improving the efficiency of dispatching shared-ride vehicles on a real-time basis. The research objectives were: Determine the current operating capabilities of computer dispatch systems; Assess the costs and economic benefits of these systems; Determine the suitability of computer dispatch technology for transit applications, including user interface and information and the Mobility Manager concept; and, Recommend future technological directions for computer dispatch. This study examines current computerized dispatching capabilities of taxicab companies and computerized scheduling capabilities of paratransit operations. Data were obtained through telephone interviews and site visits. |
