Abstract:

This paper presents a design for a rural transportation mobility information management system. The system is designed to provide transit users access to important trip information to assist them in making informed transportation choices in areas where several providers are available with different rules and restrictions. The design of the system, which will be demonstrated using a case study of a region in northwest Alabama, includes a data base system to maintain, query, and update the information; and an internet-based system for the public to learn what services are provided. The system, after inclusion of all transportation service data, provides a convenient mechanism to educate the public on transportation services and allows transportation service agencies to help passengers arrange needed transportation services.
