`
`An Example of Cab Dispatching
`
`A fare calls for a cab, and the operator enters the call
`details into the Dispatch computer system
`V/
`
`
`
`Dispatch computer requests a poll of all cabs in the area
`group via the dedicated line connection to the ARRAY
`ontrol Center
`
`V/
`
`
`
`ARRAY Control Center schedules a group call. During the
`prearranged time slots, each cabin the group's
`ansponderrespondswith status message, including the
`
`
`ab's availablity to carry a fare.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`e basestations near the cabs receive the signals,
`
`easure the arrival time and send all the status messages
`
`
`
`ith corresponding arrivaltimes to the control center
`
`
`\/
`
`
`
`© control center validatesall the received data &
`
`
`aicuiates the position of each of the respondent cabs.
`
`2 results are formatted and transmitted to the
`
`
`
`ab-dispatching computer via the same dedicated
`landline connection.
`
` e Dispatch Computer determines the cab nearest to
`e fare, and formats a dispatch messagefor the cab
`
`driver. The Dispatch computer requests the ARRAY
`
`
`
`stem to deliver the messageto the specific cab
`
`ia the dedicated line.
`

`.
`
`
`
`
`ARRAY deliver the message to the cab. The status of the
`ab's data terminal changesfrom ‘available’ to
`
`“en-route” whenthedriverrolls on the call.
`
`
`e status changesignals the availability of
`he cab wheneverits polled.
`
`
` hen the cab picks up thefare, is en-route, dropsit off,
`headsfor the depot, etc, the appropriatestatusis
`ignalied by the driver hitting the appropriate button on
`
`his terminal, and the statusis available wheneverthe
`
`cab's transponderis polled.

`
`TransModem sends a service-request-data-biock to system
`during the service-request portion of the system-cycie,
`indicating the length of the message(in time siots)

`Between four and seven base-stations near the
`TransModem receive the service-+equest message and

`
`position of the TransModem, determines the Base-station
`closest to the TransModem, schedules the time-siots during
`which the message will be picked-up & sends the schedule

`transponder formulates either a

`
`When the randomly selected
`
`
`ime-slot arrives, the transponder
`transmits it's service request
`packet, and waits for a response
`
`
`from the system.
`
`Y
`
`If aresponse does netarive
`within the next two system
`cycles, the transponder
`assumes that the message was
`not received bythe systern and
`selects another random
`time-slot from those available
`for service requests and fries
`again.
`
`
`
`Primary & secondary
`Base-stations transmit

`
`the role and function of

`
`period

`V/
`The duration of the
`service request period is
`identified by the time-slot
`
`numberofits start, and it
`
`continues fill the end of
`the cycle.
`
`Yu
`If the position of the desired mobile
`Transponder-mnoderns are
`approximately known, specific
`base-stations, selected by the
`Control Center, transmit polling
`signals and send messages to any
`single or pre-arranged groups of
`obile transponder-modemis in the
`order scheduled by the Control
`Center
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`~
`¥.
`If a Transponder had previously
`requested a particuior service, then
`the Control Center schedules a
`contiguous group of time-siots
`during which the service will be
`pertormed, eg. no other
`base-stations or transponders will be
`active during the time that a
`transponder is polied to send a
`Pending block of data-packets by
`the selected base-station
`
`V
`When requested to do so Polling
`transactions are used fo signal
`transponders to use auxiliary
`addressing schemes, that can
`Pffectively join them into any number
`of groups. Further, each memberof
`a groupis assigned a response
`time-slot during whichit will respond
`when polled via the auxilliary address
`with a specific transaction response
`code.
`
`
`Otherwise, the response is in the
`‘orm of a polling message which
`
`triggers the transponderfo
`
`transmit up to 15packets of the
`message it wants to send.
