Planits: A User's Guide For The Prototype

This paper presents a simple prototype to demonstrate the key functions of PLANiTS (Planning and Analysis for Integration for Intelligent Transportation Systems). The prototype has a planning vector that allows users to enter and edit transportation actions, performance measures and environmental descriptors. This guide demonstrates how users specify each of these elements in terms of temporal, spatial and user dimensions and analyze the planning vector with models and case-based reasoning. During the process of planning vector specification and analysis, users at different locations can communicate by sending and receiving messages and sharing the planning vector.
