Development and Evaluation of New Interface for Registration of New Bus Stops for the On-Demand Bus System
On-demand Bus is a new public transportation mode which has flexible schedule and flexible routes. Users can ride the bus only after making reservations. It is difficult for the On-demand Bus system without any operators to realize full demand typed service because there is no interaction between users and drivers to inform the concrete information about waiting spots. This paper proposes the new interface for On-demand Bus system through which users can register new bus stops by themselves. The developed interface, namely the developed system realizes CSCW (computer-supported cooperative work), which is a collaboration with the Internet. By developing the new interface, the full demand typed On-demand Bus service is realized and users evaluate the service positively.
