  27. Principal Tasks: Old and New First Task: Reduced from four screens to two.

  28. Principal Tasks: Old and New Second Task: Changed from planning new trip to retrieving a saved trip.

  29. Principal Tasks: Old and New Third Task: Changed from “tagging” conditions of a trip to planning a new trip. New trip screens reduced from six to four pages in Take Me There vs. MyTransitTracker.

  30. Planning a trip in MyTransTracker Planning and taking a new trip in Take Me There

  31. Rationale for Task Changes When the scope of the program changed, so did the tasks • Tagging proved to be a confusing idea for users. Why our three final tasks? • They represent the final and most important three features of the program.

  32. Design Evolution The Home Screen tells users where they are and what trips they might want to take. • Trips are based on their habits at said time. MyTransTracker“Home” screen Take Me There “Main” Screen

  33. Design Evolution Cont. MyTransTracker focused on multimodal transportation. Didn’t take into account time well in planning screens.

  34. Take Me there asks users in plain English what they’re looking to do. Ease of use was priority in new trip planning, tends to be overcomplicated. 34

  35. Usability Testing Web-Based Usability Study • 23 completed testing • 80% used the same routes most of the time Emulator-based Usability STudy • Median age = 22 • 3 males, 2 females • All used web-based transit applications • 3 of 5 used mobile applications • Users used busses on average 6.8 times/week

  36. Usability Results Users were generally impressed with real-world applications. Confused by terminology • Tabs were changed from “Home,” “New,” “Saved” to “Main,” “Plan Trip,” “My Places.” Confused by icons and labels • Clear separation of buttons vs. text was implemented.

  37. What parts do we need? Static Location Data • Jim’s house, work Current Location Information • GPS Information • Map and Direction Information Transit Information • Bus Status • Trip Planning Destination Classifiers • Track and learn users travel patterns

  38. Future & Related Work Google maps mobile • Location information • Trip planning • Map content • Detailed trip information One Bus Away (.org) • UW CSE, Go Dawgs! • Explore your neighborhood • Back end ready to go now • Starting to build a mobile app

  39. In Summary Predict your destinations • Plan once, travel many Real-time transit data • Just what you need Destination focused trip planning • Finding a way to get you there Coming soon to you • Putting all the pieces together
