Interaction

Recently we have spent a lot of time concentrating on the functionality and appearance of the pole, now that we are happy with the design we can look into the interaction between the bus driver, user and twitter.


By using the route display, people at bus stops will be communicating indirectly with; bus driver (when bus is selected at stop, alert is sent to driver), other stop patrons (by leaving their chosen route displayed on pole) and twitter pages (twitter page for each bus will show delays, accidents, number of occupants on bus and its location).

The bus driver communicates with; twitter page (using an on-board computer), people at the bus stop (through the L.E.D. position on the pole) and the patrons already aboard the bus.


The people on the bus communicate with; people at the stop and twitter. This is done indirectly thru just being on the bus.
