Introduction to Appointment Time Booking

Appointment Time Booking is a specialized system designed to streamline the reservation process for paratransit services, focusing on booking trips based on appointment times rather than pickup times. This system, equipped with the Trapeze software, allows for the computation of ideal pickup times to ensure passengers arrive at their appointments promptly. For example, if a customer has a medical appointment at 10:00 AM, Appointment Time Booking calculates the pickup time considering travel duration and traffic conditions, aiming for a 30-minute early arrival. This approach contrasts with traditional models that prioritize pickup times, requiring users to estimate their needed departure time to make appointments. Powered by ChatGPT-4o
