Abstract
The present work continues a longer research in the field of flexible transportation services and the design of an agent system devoted to the planning, scheduling and control of trips under such a domain. In particular, this paper focuses in the design and development of the interface agents present in the system by following an agent development methodology named PASSI. The interface agent devoted to interaction with the customers is explained in detail and its prototype is shown.
