Abstract

The report fully documents a prototype system that has been developed to serve Demand-Responsive Transit (DRT). The DRT service is provided by means of buses and has been proposed for deployment (as a pilot project) in Fremont, California. The service itself is to be deployed in a “hybrid” fashion; i.e., service alternates between a traditional fixed-route mode and the DRT mode from one bus trip to the next. The report describes the prototype systems from the perspective of the system users (i.e., customers, bus drivers and administrators). Further, the report describes system configuration and deployment. Software development notes are also provided so as to document the lessons learned from our development work. In short, the works shows that reserving DRT trips and dispatching the buses can be done in automated fashion.
