Smartphone assistant for mass transit: Participants sought for survey
Image: Photomontage: University of Kassel.The form can be found at www.uni-kassel.de/go/u-hoch-3. The questions take about 15 minutes to answer. They concern, for example, the extent to which public transport is used.
In the U-hoch-3 project, the University of Kassel (departments of human-machine systems engineering and transportation planning and systems) is working with the Kasseler Verkehrsgesellschaft (KVG) and the Nordhessischer Verkehrsverbund (NVV) to design a smartphone-based assistance system for local public transportation. It is intended not only to facilitate travel planning, but also to include an innovative inner-city delivery service that covers the entire supply chain with baggage drop-off, transport and delivery, thus making it easier to shop without a car. The researchers are initially evaluating how the occupancy status of vehicles can be recorded and transmitted. They are also developing a concept for reliable transfer. The project is still at an early stage.
