Usability of Web-based Multimodal Traveller Information
______________________________________________

The Unit for Transport and Society at UWE, Bristol, invites applications 
for a three year PhD studentship fully-funded by the UK Department for Transport.

The successful applicant will be based in London and will work within the 
Transport Direct Division at DfT (see www.dft.gov.uk/itwp/transdirect). 
Transport Direct is a major Programme within the Government's Ten Year Plan 
for Transport. It aims to provide the UK with a 'one-stop-shop' traveller 
information service, initially via the Internet.

The studentship will focus upon the understanding of user needs and 
reactions associated with traveller information services and, more 
specifically, usability issues concerning Transport Direct itself.

The studentship stipend will be up to 50% higher than the standard research 
councils' maintenance grant of £8000 p.a. The studentship also includes 
payment of fees and travel.
