Abstract:This appendix describes how the capabilities of the German Flexible Operations Command and Control System (FOCCS) can be enhanced by adding a videotex interface to answer inquiries or to process transactions, such as a request for a ride. The reasons for adding the videotex interface are to increase the productivity of dispatching/information personnel and to make users responsible for the accuracy and completeness of their data. This appendix also describes how the capabilities of the VIdeoteX-ENhanced (VIXEN) system can be extended to provide information to drivers of single-trip carpool (aka parataxi)vehicles or any other vehicles on the "best" ways to get between two points (e.g. home and work) in light of the latest traffic, weather, etc. conditions. VIXEN would also permit registered parataxi drivers with the opportunity to enter trip offers and receive information on the name, origin address, destination address, etc., of registered parataxi drivers who have accepted a trip offer.
