A Multi-device Evaluation Approach of Passenger Information Systems in Smart Public Transport

摘要

Adaptive passenger information for an enhanced mobility experience may be the next step towards a smart public transport. In our research project, we have developed a multi-device evaluation approach for adaptive passenger information systems of mobile public displays. An adaptive passenger information system needs to be aware of the passenger's context. In order to fulfill this requirement, we use the passenger's personal devices like smartphones or smart watches as context sources. In this paper, we describe our approach of a multi-device passenger information system evaluation focusing on privacy aspects. We present three different methods of pseudonyms that were used to visually link the personal information on passenger's private devices with the displayed information on the public display. In addition, we report on our evaluation results from a user study evaluating the acceptance and the intelligibility of the used visual pseudonyms.
