| 摘要： | Making smart travel choices require understanding the operation of the transportation system and influencing the use of public transportation. This knowledge begins with collecting data to measure or monitor travel behavior. This research project is Phase II of the ongoing NCTR project Traveling Smart: Increasing Transit Ridership by Automatic Collection (TRAC) of Individual Travel Behavior Data and Personalized Feedback or TRAC-IT. Phase I of TRAC-IT will be finalized April 2005. The focus of Phase I was to design, implement and test a portable automatic activity diary system. To date, a personal digital assistance (PDA) combined with a global positioning system (GPS) was assembled as one unit PDA/GPS and loaded with an activity diary that collects information such as travel purpose, origin, destination, travel time, speed, occupancy, etc. The task of designing the service (including user devices and communication options), identifying the data to be captured, transmitted, and processed, designing user interfaces, creating the database design, and preparing system testing procedures (communication system and PDA) is ongoing. Additionally, a GPS-Enabled cell phone has been identified as a possible cost-effective replacement for the PDA/GPS device combination and could even provide additional benefits such as extended battery-life and increased portability due to its smaller size. Also, the task of building an expert system that provides customized feedback advice tailored to an individuals travel behavior patterns is well underway. The goals of Phase I were to (1) test the technology of gathering travel data and providing feedback advice through the PDA/GPS prototype and (2) test and refine the communications protocols used in the process. The trial expert system developed for this phase tested the suggestion generation rationale on a handful of households for a particular set of sample travel scenarios but did not monitor or measure travel behavior changes. Phase II will test the handheld device prototype (GPS-Enabled cell phone or PDA/GPS) on a larger sample of households and measure the changes in household travel behavior after providing tailored travel advice (aka Travel Blending) using the trial expert system developed in Phase I. |
