HOW TO CALL THE BUS-TAXI

HOE ROEP IK EEN BUSTAXI OP

One of the efforts to meet the demand upon public transport is the development of the bustaxi-system. The customer supplies the following data to a control centre: (1) the address of destination (2) the time of arrival and (3) the number of co-travellers. By means of an algorithm this control centre allots the customer to the most appropriate bustaxi. The customer is able to communicate with the control centre by means of a terminal. To allow proper functioning, it is convenient to split this terminal in two parts (1) a part concerned with transmission and reception and (2) a part that enables the customer to enter the required data and to receive the data returned from the control centre. The design for the latter part of the terminal is discussed. /TRRL/
