4.1.6.1: Process Demand Responsive Transit Trip Request

This process shall provide the interface through which processes in the Provide Driver and Traveler Service function can gain access to the Provide Demand Responsive Transit Service facility. The process shall enable the interface to support the receipt of trip requests, their transfer to another process for the actual demand responsive and flexible-route schedule generation, the output of the proposed schedule and their (possible) subsequent confirmation. This process shall also accept information regarding changes to transit vehicle schedules and/or individual travelers on transit vehicles that may impact the rideshare requests, such as late arriving train to a commuter lot. The process shall store the input and schedule data relating to each request until such time as the request is confirmed or the data in the request is no longer valid, e.g. the time(s) used in the proposed schedule has(ve) passed. The confirmation of a particular schedule shall be sent by the process to another process that will enable the schedule to be implemented.
