This study evaluated two advanced integrated systems with navigation, communication, and entertainment capabilities in a driving simulator. One system was a Johnson Controls prototype with a joystick-type control and Hotkeys to input information; the other was a production system with a touchscreen display for the navigation and entertainment functions and a voice-operated system for the communication function. Eighteen participants used both systems while driving in the center lane of a three-lane highway with no traffic and no curves, and also participated in a baseline driving session. Dependent measures of interest included driving performance (lane position, steering angle, and speed) and task completion time. Subjective workload ratings also were obtained using the NASA-TLX. The results suggest that type of task and type of system affect task completion time and driving performance. The prototype system showed superior results in shorter task completion times for the destination entry tasks, and overall better driving performance and subjective ratings, than did the production system. Driving performance, however, was better when driving without performing any other tasks than when performing tasks. Future research is recommended to compare driving performance when using advanced in-vehicle systems and traditional systems.

CALYPSO is an interoperable electronic ticketing standard open to multi-application environments. It was developed by a group of European partners from the cities of Brussels, Constance, Lisbon, Paris and Venice.

CALYPSO provides the basis for a new service relationship with clients: facilitating access to networks, customizing travel cards and complementary services, diversifying sales outlets, and managing client databases.

The OTN Statewide Transit Trip Planning Project in Oregon began as an idea.

This presentation will address how that idea was developed into realistic options for implementing statewide transit trip planning in Oregon.
