Transit Center Vehicle Tracking
'Transit Center Vehicle Tracking' monitors transit vehicle location. The location information is collected via a data communication link between the transit vehicles and the transit center. The location information is presented to the transit operator on a digitized map of the transit service area. The location data may be used to determine real time schedule adherence and update the transit system’s schedule in real-time. The real-time schedule information is disseminated to other information providers, which furnish the information to travelers.
