Briefing

NextRide is a mobile phone application to allow brothers and friends of a fraternity (more specifically our fraternity ZBT) to schedule, request and find rides between campus and the house. The application includes the ability to schedule the house's 15 passenger van, cars, and cabs.

Scenario Tasks

• Charles woke up at the house at 11am and is planning on driving to campus today. He needs to be there by 3pm but doesn’t really care when he goes so he is willing to give people a ride and leave whenever it is more convenient for others. He is going to check to see when people have requested a ride. He is then going to schedule a ride for the time with the most requests.

• Alexis is on campus at 3am and he wants to get to the house by 5am. He is flexible on when he is leaving but he knows he can’t leave in the next 30 min. MIT Saferide and the T have both stopped running for the night and it is too cold to walk all the way to the house so he wants someone to give him a ride but he would also not mind getting a cab. He wants to use NextRide to request a ride and also offer a cab.

• It’s 11am right now. Jorge is at the house and needs to get to campus before 1pm. He doesn’t care when he goes as long as he gets a ride before one. Jorge looks at the available rides and reserves himself a spot on a ride in Yifan’s car at 12:30pm.
