  • We can proceed with the van
• Now own saferide.sa.rochester.edu
• blah blah

Reminder of Safe Ride problems

• •One rider usually drops, doesn’t get picked up because of waiting too long
  •Usually do 50 to 60 miles
  •About 20 to 25 trips
  •
  •Students don’t know when it’s coming
  •Have to call
  •At least one rider gets dropped each trip

Dispatcher UI Enhancements

•“Incoming Requests” and “Completed Requests” per day
•Drag and drop so it’s up to the dispatcher
•Working on an algorithm that will sort the requests by weight
–Three variables determine the priority: # of passengers, pick up weight, drop off weight
–I.e., if your request has 3 passengers, it will be prioritized over a ride that has only 1 passenger
