Current-day bus routing systems are they don't factor in some students have specific requirements when it comes to where they need picked up/dropped off throughout the school week.With a clean user experience (whether you are a system admin or a bus driver), we built a program where a system admin could tweak specifically where a student needed to be picked up/dropped of; it should be customizable as a student's need varies. The program was dynamic where the system admin could drag and drop where a student needed to be picked up/dropped off. The system admin has the opportunity to make it consistent the whole week or to go in and cater to the student's need.
Like I previously mentioned, each week throughout the 15 week semester we would have fellow classmates/our professor test our website out. We would gather feedback and meet as a team to discuss how we could make improvements. A main objective of the team at the beginning of the semester was to create a user-focused experience while implementing the “groups” feature into our program. Getting the various roles to work was also a big task that was crucial for the success of this project.
After 15 weeks, the three of us were able to successfully implement a fully functional program where a transportation manager could alter routes based on the students’ needs. Our initial goal was kept in mind throughout the whole design process and we had a 95% task success rate when given the prompt to set up a pickup/dropoff point and to alter those based on their needs.
