59 This research focused on developing an implementable transactional data specification for demand-responsive transportation. The proposed specification -- set forth in its entirety in Appendix E -- is intended to be an initial step in enabling efficient data interoperability among the software systems used by DRT service providers.

Conclusions and Future Considerations 61 might soon be adopted, is very telling. Google could devote substantial resources to an ambitious specifications development undertaking that in a relatively short period of time fundamentally changed how public transit data was structured and exchanged.

This ensures that service and technology providers will be capable of interoperating across the entire range of data and technology boundaries relevant to a DRT trip.

Conclusions and Future Considerations 63 5.5 Implementation -- Potential Scenarios Developments in the DRT industry and advances in technology -- with particular emphasis on the heightened importance of technology platforms -- have created opportunities for improved DRT service outcomes if the software systems controlling these services can routinely interoperate. The experiences in Sweden and Denmark offer evidence that such potential benefits are achievable, and transactional data specifications are a key element in making this possible.

64 Development of Transactional Data Specifications for Demand-Responsive Transportation implementation of the proposed specification. To help facilitate possible strategies, two documents were created and included as appendices to this report: • Appendix G is a one-page marketing document that can be given to managers at transit agencies and/or other DRT service providers.

Conclusions and Future Considerations 65 • Model 2: International organization manages specification. Another suggested model was having an international organization or collaboration manage the data specification.

66 Development of Transactional Data Specifications for Demand-Responsive Transportation While authoritative government involvement in the specifications situation -- Model 1 -- would almost certainly result in specification adoption, as was the case in Sweden, it is unlikely to occur in the United States. Rather, industry associations and the leading organizations in these industries are typically the key to successful development of technical specifications.
