使用公共交通系统的人需要两种基本信息-（1）何时、何地和乘坐哪辆公共汽车/火车，以及（2）何时下车。在本文中，我们提出了一个系统，帮助用户知道他/她的停止是接近。我们的系统的主要目标是克服“颈部向下”的任何视觉界面，需要用户查看到移动的屏幕上的警报的方法。触觉反馈正在成为导航和路由应用的流行反馈模式。在这里，我们讨论的触觉集成到公共交通系统。我们的系统提供有关时间和距离的目的地巴士站的信息，并使用触觉反馈的振动报警的形式存在于手机中，提醒用户，当所需的停止正在接近。这项研究的主要成果是触觉是一种有效的替代方案，为公共交通用户提供反馈。
People using public transport systems need two kinds of basic information - (1) when, where and which bus/train to board, and (2) when to exit the vehicle. In this paper we propose a system that helps the user know his/her stop is nearing. The main objective of our system is to overcome the ’neck down’ approach of any visual interface which requires the user to look into the mobile screen for alerts. Haptic feedback is becoming a popular feedback mode for navigation and routing applications. Here we discuss the integration of haptics into public transport systems. Our system provides information about time and distance to the destination bus stop and uses haptic feedback in the form of the vibration alarm present in the phone to alert the user when the desired stop is being approached. The key outcome of this research is haptics being an effective alternative to provide feedback for public transport users.
