Scenario 2-
Data Flows
1.Travelers enter trip information into D-RIDE interface
system via mobile device
(passenger) or in-vehicle system (driver) through wifi, DSRC, or mobile network to D-RIDE data center OR traveler
enters trip information
into D-RIDE interface system via internet.
a.Information includes: trip plan request, origin and
destination (OD) data, traveler profile and preferences, and traffic data
(from a traffic data center)
2.The
center accepts requests from traveler interface systems for ridesharing as part of a trip plan request. The center
processes the requests by
balancing the relative benefits of the rideshare to each rideshare participant.
3.Using
traffic data and route optimization, the center picks up that an incident is causing major delays along the passenger’s
route and that transit or
other private mode (taxi, shuttle) may be the best fastest option to their destination. The center sends a message to the
passenger asking if they
would like to add a transit leg to their trip.
