VANCOUVER COMPUTERIZED SCHEDULING/BROKERAGE DEMONSTRATION PROJECT: SUMMARY REPORT

In March 1984, a jointly sponsored demonstration of computerized scheduling/brokerage systems was initiated to improve the quality and cost-effectiveness of transit services for disabled persons. Two microcomputer-based systems were demonstrated. One of the systems operated on a local area network and used low-cost graphical display technology to improve the scheduling/dispatching function in assistance through a tabular display of schedules and was a multi-user system. The report provides an overview of the project, focusing on the 2 microcomputer applications. The project approach and organization, applications setting, implementation procedures and impacts, results, and conclusions are described.
