Wichita Transit Vehicle Tracking

Definition:

The Wichita Transit Vehicle Tracking service monitors current City of Wichita 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 Sedgwick County Transportation Brokerage System is used for relaying vehicle position and control measures. Fixed route transit systems may also employ beacons along the route to enable position determination and facilitate communications with each vehicle at fixed intervals. The Wichita Transit Operations Center processes this information, updates the transit schedule and makes real-time schedule information available to the Wichita Transit Customer Information System.
