Opportunity Knocks: A System to Provide Cognitive Assistance with Transportation Services

@inproceedings{patterson05:ok, abstract = {We present an automated transportation routing system, called “Opportunity Knocks,” whose goal is to improve the efficiency, safety and independence of individuals with mild cognitive disabilities.
