This Smal Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will develop Mobility Agents that help persons with cognitive disabilities use public transportation systems. The realization of an operational system that wirelessly connects users to real-time bus information through Mobility Agents depends on the fact that public transportation systems are increasingly equipped with GPS (Global Positioning System) systems connected to control centers through dedicated wireless networks. Controllers use this infrastructure to schedule and optimize operations and avoid organizational problems such as bunching. Agentsheets proposes to use this existing infrastructure to compute highly personalized information and deliver it on PDAs or cell phones to persons with cognitive disabilities. Wireless devices with location aware Mobility Agent services that help travelers use public transportation systems, permit caregivers to customize these agents, and monitor the progress of travelers by means of utilizing The Pragmatic Web, a framework for highly customizable Web information; and Deductive Tracking, a combination of sensor fusion and minimalist common sense AI that creates more reliable tracking information. Agentsheets will explore design and implementation issues for agent-based real-time user interfaces on handheld devices; build the system, and test it in a real-world setting using the Boulder bus system as a public transportation test bed.The Mobility Agents technology turns general GPS-based information into personalized, practical information. Customization mechanisms range from simple preferences to rule definition, and are relevant to the fields of End-User Development/Programming, Visual Languages, and Human Computer Interaction. Deductive Tracking contributes to Sensor Fusion and Artificial Intelligence. Parts of a Phase I 3D engine, used in the real-time transportation visualization, have been made available to other research organizations and are already in use. This technology proffers assistance to persons with cognitive disabilities. The elderly and other groups will also benefit from the same technological developments. This technology creates new service organizations. It reduces the need for human escorts, increases the autonomy of persons with cognitive disabilities, and decreases the need for federal support. ...

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第二阶段项目将开发移动代理，帮助有认知障碍的人使用公共交通系统。 通过移动代理将用户无线连接到实时公交信息的操作系统的实现取决于公共交通系统越来越多地配备通过专用无线网络连接到控制中心的GPS（全球定位系统）系统的事实。 控制器使用此基础设施来调度和优化操作，并避免组织问题，如聚束。 Agentsheets建议使用这种现有的基础设施来计算高度个性化的信息，并将其发送到PDA或手机上给有认知障碍的人。 具有位置感知移动代理服务的无线设备，可帮助旅行者使用公共交通系统，允许护理人员定制这些代理，并通过利用Pragmatic Web（高度可定制的Web信息框架）监控旅行者的进度;以及演绎跟踪，传感器融合和极简主义常识AI的组合，可创建更可靠的跟踪信息。 Agentsheets将探讨手持设备上基于代理的实时用户界面的设计和实现问题;构建系统，并使用Boulder总线系统作为公共交通测试平台在现实世界中进行测试。移动代理技术将一般基于GPS的信息转化为个性化的实用信息。 定制机制的范围从简单的偏好到规则定义，并且与最终用户开发/编程、视觉语言和人机交互等领域相关。 演绎跟踪有助于传感器融合和人工智能。 用于实时交通可视化的第一阶段3D引擎的一部分已提供给其他研究组织，并已投入使用。 这项技术为有认知障碍的人提供帮助。 老年人和其他群体也将受益于同样的技术发展。 这项技术创造了新的服务组织。 它减少了对人类护送的需求，提高了认知残疾人的自主性，并减少了对联邦支持的需求。...
