ABSTRACT
We often hear complaints from people who had been traveling to the non-English speaking countries such as Japan, France, and Italy that they had a hard time understanding public transportations especially the metro/subway train. Their bad experience inspired us to design this “PATH route-finding kiosk” to help people especially tourists to plan their train journey. In addition to that, the main objective of this kiosk is to deliver immediate access from digital information that is relevant to tourist by using the touch screen technology. This kiosk is intended to help them finding the right track to their destinations from selected stations. Besides, they can also use this kiosk to find information about places of interest near each station for example the 33rd street in New York City and the World Trade Center. This will not only make their life easier but also save their time.
A printing service is also available at the same kiosk machine, where they can print the route to their destinations. This would be really helpful to users who do not want to memorize the route especially when they have to take more than one train to go to a certain place. Other than providing the direction, this kiosk can also give information about the departure of the trains and duration it takes to arrive at each station.
