Abstract
Electronic data processing (EPP) equipment used by the Yellow Cab Company of Los Angeles has demonstrated that the use of such equipment in dispatching demand-responsive vehicles is technically and economically feasible for an operation handling a minimum of 2700 orders per day. The equipment receives and validates all types of incoming orders. Orders are automatically routed to the appropriate sender, and the first, second and third alternate stand calls are displayed along with the address. The system automatically displays advance calls before the required service time.
