Include OS Solutions in Feasibility Studies and RequirementInclude OS Solutions in Feasibility Studies and Requirement Analysis in addition to Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS)
OS Evaluation Criteria
• OS Code/Language – ex. can it be supported and maintained g g ppinternally, does it adhere to IT standards
• Developer Base • Working Implementations g p• Terms and conditions of the OS license agreement • Governance or Foundation • Options for support and maintenance contracts• Options for support and maintenance contracts • No initial fee for the software, however, should calculate and
compare long-term operating costs and resources against COTS
Open Source Software Evaluation
• Linux Operating System• Linux Operating System • MySQL, PostGIS Databases • Apache and Tomcat Web Server • Mozilla Firefox Web Browser• Eclipse Development Platform • Subversion Version Control System for code, web pages… y , p g• Openbravo Point of Sale Application for ticket purchases • Plone Content Management System

PROJECT OBJECTIVES
Demonstrate the feasibility of implementing and maintaining an OS MMTPS.
Contribute documentation and source code improvements for the benefit of others.
Increase and strengthen the development community around the code.
Test the usability and accuracy of the MMTPS planned trips to improve core algorithm and regional datasets.
Document information such as lessons learned and feedback from participating partners and developers.
Task 1 Project Management Plan Sept
PROJECT TIMELINE AND DELIVERABLESTask 1 – Project Management Plan Project Initiation Workshop July 15-17, 2009 is designed to identify detailed scope of work, project plan and schedule. Deliverables: Detailed Scope of Work, Project Plan and Schedule
Sept. 2009
Task 2 – Develop and implement the open source MMTPSDeliverables: Working on-line prototype of the open source Trip Planner for Portland Metro area. It will plan walking, transit and bike modes.
Jan. 2011
Portland Metro area. It will plan walking, transit and bike modes.
Task 3 – Evaluation Study The Evaluation Study will focus on both the open source aspect of the project, and May the accuracy and usability of the planned trips using the prototype. Deliverable: Summary reports of Program Development Checks, Results of Data Efficacy Test.
2011
Task 4 – Develop Final ReportDeliverables: Final report on development and test, including next steps, produced.
June 2011
Program Development Checks
EVALUATION PLANProgram Development Checks
• Summary of actual accomplishments compared to program objectives • Lessons Learned• Feedback from partners, vendors, developers, TriMet staff • Project activities for the test period
Data Efficacy Test • Respondents will be recruited to include: transit riders/non riders bikers• Respondents will be recruited to include: transit riders/non-riders, bikers,
walkers, men, women, minorities, LEP, and elderly and disabled. • Respondents will:
• plan their trips using the prototype; • take the trips; and • report on the accuracy and usefulness of the trips generated.
Final Report:Final Report:• Next steps for TriMet and collaborators • Demonstration of prototype and report this summary to the RTO
Subcommittee.
Walking preferences filters choices based on distance (it does not produce 1 mile walks)

LESSONS LEARNED
Working together with other agencies has been great.
Timetable issues are similar between agencies.
Minimal effort to implement.

WHY USE THE TTPUB
Consistent Single system for print and Web output.
Current Quicker turn around & can generate directly fromCurrent Quicker turn-around & can generate directly from database.
Control TimeTablePublisher gives Marketing team full g gcontrol over public schedule information.
Costs Cost reduction from automation & repeatable processes (from 30 to 2 hours per route)processes (from 30 to 2 hours per route).
GTFS Standardized data format lowers the barrier to using the TimeTablePublisher.to using the TimeTablePublisher.
Bottom Line Better Information and Reduced Costs.
TTPUB TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Uses GTFS so implementation is simple
Intuitive friendly user-interface
