PT01-Transit Vehicle Tracking (Regional Transit Agencies)
Status: Existing
Description
This service package monitors current transit vehicle location using an Automated Vehicle Location System. The location data may be used to determine real time schedule adherence and update the transit system's schedule in real–time. Vehicle position may be determined either by the vehicle (e.g., through GPS) and relayed to the infrastructure or may be determined directly by the communications infrastructure. A two–way wireless communication link with the Transit Management Subsystem is used for relaying vehicle position and control measures. The Transit Management Subsystem processes this information, updates the transit schedule and makes real–time schedule information available to the Information Service Provider. Regional Transit Agencies have agreed to share this information as part of a regional transit traveler information system.
