SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVED ACCURACY OF TRANSIT RIDER COMMITMENTS AND NOTIFICATIONS

摘要

Systems and methods for providing one or more client commitments to one or more clients, the client commitments relating to one or more client events on a demand response manifest to be performed by a transit industry vehicle, wherein each client event comprises a pick up or a drop off, a date, a time and an client event location. A mobile data terminal communicates with a real time traffic data provider and provides the received real time traffic dataset to a demand response scheduling server that determines any impact on the manifest the real time traffic data may have and hence whether a client commitment can be made, or an existing client commitment must be changed, and notifies the client of such client commitment or change.
