| Abstract |
As the city infrastructure becomes more intelligent, individuals will have access to many different flavors of transportation. As this growth continues, problems in the current structure are found. Particularly in the U.S., the first mile and the last mile of an individual's commute can be the weakest links due to the distance from their home to a public transportation acces point and from another access point to their final destination. This is especially true for those with impaired mobility, e.g. injury or disability. In this paper, a system called SMOOTH (Smart Mobile Operation: OSU Transportation Hub) will be discussed. The primary goal of SMOOTH is to augment current public transportation infrastructure by providing users with access to a heterogeneous network of on-demand autonomous vehicles. A mobile-first web application is used to schedule the pickup and drop-off locations of the trip. The system has been designed to maximize scalability for future city-wide deployments. Initial testing on the Ohio State University Campus has been completed with two vehicle platforms, a single passenger mobility scooter and a four passenger golf cart. |
