摘要：	The objective of the 'Dynamic Generator' (DTG) project was to develop a tool that enables transit agencies to dynamically generate timetables for customer web access directly from 'raw' schedule data. This enables transit agencies to present changes to the schedules immediately to their riding public via electronic dissemination methods. Most transit agencies must plan well in advance to design and develop their customer schedules. Due to these long lead times, transit agencies cannot always present their customers with updated schedule information when changes to the schedules occur due to mid-shake-up changes such as detour, special events, and changes in service demand (e.g., opening of a new mall along a route) or emergencies. This project developed and tested a new tool that will allow transit agencies to provide timely and accurate schedule data on a web site. Three public transportation organizations partnered with the project team to complete this project. TriMet, New York State Department of Transportation or NYSDOT (with Suffolk and Dutchess Counties) and Chicago RTA (representing CTA, PACE, and METRA) participated in this project by providing: feedback on the requirements, work flow process and nuances of timetable design; providing data sets; and testing the application.
