Report of interviews findings
- design principles
- The system should be able to
be used in any city
- The system will consist in a
software application that uses an already available wireless device, such
as a PDA or a SmartPhone®
- The application wouldn't be used
very often, so the users would like to pay almost nothing for the service
- The application should consider
a feature to call a taxi in any moment that it is required
- If the alarm for the configured
route rings (the bus is about to arrive to the bus stop), the application
should allow the user to check for the next route to the same destination
and let the user decide weather he/she will used the preiously configured
route or the suggested one
- The application should provide
a button that, when pressed, indicates the way to go to the users's home
- The application should allow
the user to download to his/her wireless device new local transportation
networks for other cities
New assuptions after interviews
findings
- Due to the fact that the project
is being developed in Germany, we will assume that the most used wireless
device is the SmartPhone® (link to usage statistic)
- At this moment, we won't worry
about who is going to cover the costs of the transmission between the wireless
device and the route information databases
- For the calling taxi feature,
we will assume that all the taxi centrals can be contacted with our application
