The system was designed using a World Wide Web or Internet interface. Two of the unique features of the design were accommodating the desired travel times and identifying origins and destinations. A search structure was developed using a series of pull-down menus allowing users to easily identify their origins and destinations from a search tree containing four levels of detail. Making the actual connection with potential rideshare partners was left up the participants. An automatic e-mail notification feature enhanced the ease of communicating with possible rideshare partners. Implementation and operation of the Seattle Smart Traveler occurred over a 15-month period ending in June 1997. Use of the dynamic ridematching system was tracked by University researchers over the period of the demonstration.
