Equipment Package Description
Provide interactive traveler information to travelers (on­board transit
vehicles, at stops/stations, using personal devices), traveler information
service providers, media, and other transit organizations. Includes routes,
schedules, transfer options, fares, real­time schedule adherence, current
incidents, weather conditions, yellow pages, and special events.
Generate requests for transit priority on routes and at certain
intersections. Coordinate schedules with other agencies and modes,
including transit transfer cluster and transfer point information.
Planning and scheduling of demand responsive transit (i.e. paratransit)
services, includes automatic operator assignment and monitoring.
Monitor transit vehicle operator or traveler activated alarms; authenticate
transit vehicle operators; remotely disable a transit vehicle; alert
operators, travelers, and police to potential incidents identified by these
security features.
Monitoring transit vehicle locations via interactions with on­board
systems and determining vehicle schedule adherence. Furnish users with
real­time transit related information and maintain interface with digital
map providers.
Collection and storage of transit management data. For use by operations
personnel or data archives in the region.
Current and forecast road and weather information assimilated from
weather service providers and vehicle probes. The information is
monitored and forwarded to other agencies to more effectively manage
transit operations.
Support evacuation and subsequent reentry of a population in the vicinity
of a disaster or other emergency. Coordinate regional evacuation plans
and resources including transit and school bus fleets.
Collect operational and maintenance data from transit vehicles, manage
vehicle service histories, automatically generate preventative
maintenance schedules, and provide information to service personnel.
Assignment of transit vehicles and operators to routes or service areas in
a fair manner while minimizing labor and overtime services, considering
operator preferences, qualifications, accumulated work hours, and other
information about each operator.
Security sensors monitoring traveler­frequented areas such as transit
stops, park­and­ride lots, and rest stops for environmental threats,
intrusion and motion, and object detection.
Security surveillance devices that monitor traveler­frequented areas such
as transit stops and rest stops.
Collection and distribution of traveler information and wide­area alerts to
traveler telephone information systems such as 511, based on voicebased
traveler requests.
Determines current location of the vehicle using GPS or similar location
referencing and provides this information to other in­vehicle functions.
In­vehicle capability for drivers or collision detection sensors onboard a
vehicle to report an emergency and summon assistance.
