1  Problem  Students can’t catch the bus on time  Solution  Provide a new interface to monitor the bus  Notify user when the bus comes HCI Project: Bus Alarm 2/10/2016 Xue Liu, Tingting Li, Siliang Xia

2  User Function  Select routes to monitor  Check bus information Current location Arrival time  Drawback:  Costs user’s time and attention Existing Solution: TransLoc 2/10/2016

3  Idea  “Push” instead of “Pull”  User Function  Guide user to input alarm information Start stop, end stop, route to monitor Time to leave Alarm frequency  Import user’s event from their schedule  Get bus information from notification Our Solution: Bus Alarm 2/10/2016

4  Number of participants: 35 participants, 31 filled out questionnaires  Rationale  Participants used Bus Alarm whole week and filled out questionnaires  Participants used TransLoc in the second week and filled out questionnaires  Hypothesis  Primary: Users are more satisfied with Bus Alarm than TransLoc  Secondary: Bus Alarm is more useful for users to catch a bus on time than TransLoc User Study Conditions 2/10/2016

5  Primary hypothesis: Users are more satisfied with Bus Alarm than TransLoc  Secondary hypothesis: Bus Alarm is more useful for users to catch a bus on time than TransLoc  Analysis  P-value (< 0.01%) < Accepted standard alpha level 5%  T-value > HCI usual standard T-values 1.96  Hypothesis rejected!
