SBIR Phase I: Mobility Agents for Persons with Cognitive Disabilities

这个小企业创新研究第一阶段项目将开发移动代理，帮助认知障碍者使用公共交通系统，并帮助照顾者定制这些代理，以满足旅行者的特定需求。越来越多的公共交通系统配备了GPS(全球定位系统)系统，通过专用无线网络连接到控制中心。目前，控制器使用此基础设施来高效地调度和优化操作，并避免集束等组织问题。AgentSheets，Inc.的S调查团队将利用这一现有的基础设施来计算高度个性化的信息，并将其在PDA或手机上传递给认知障碍者。这项研究将探索手持设备上基于代理的实时界面的用户界面问题，并构建一个原型，在真实世界中进行测试，使用博尔德科罗拉多公交系统作为公共交通系统试验台。该技术将开发公共交通管理工具，为认知障碍者和老年人提供服务。

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will develop Mobility Agents that help persons with cognitive disabilities use public transportation systems and help caregivers customize these agents to serve the specific needs of the travelers. Increasingly, public transportation systems are equipped with GPS (Global Positioning System) systems connected to control centers through dedicated wireless networks. Controllers currently use this infrastructure to efficiently schedule and optimize operations and avoid organizational problems such as bunching. Agentsheets, Inc.'s investigative team will use this existing infrastructure to compute highly personalized information and deliver it on PDAs or cell phones to persons with cognitive disabilities. The research will explore user interface issues of agent-based real-time interfaces on handheld devices and build a prototype to be tested in a real-world setting using the Boulder Colorado bus system as a public transportation system test bed The proffered technology will develop public transportation management tools to provide services for persons with cognitive disabilities and for the elderly.
