Abstract:

The role of automation in dispatching demand-responsive transportation vehicles is discussed. Panelists discussed the justification for, and performance of the system. A computerized dispatch system alleviated two problem areas of the taxicab industry: piracy; and favoritism. Costs are considered in terms of time and money saved. The panelists are questioned on user and staff attitudes, and on the extent of automation and backup system. Future plans such as dial-a-ride application for cabs, computer digital systems and data communications between cab and dispatch center are discussed.
