APTS 2 APTS 2 Transit Fixed-Route OperationsTransit Fixed-Route Operations
This market package performs vehicle routing and
scheduling, as well as automatic operator
assignment and system monitoring for fixed-route
and flexible-route transit services. This service
determines current schedule performance using
AVL data and provides information displays at the
Transit Management Subsystem. Static and real
time transit data is exchanged with Information
Service Providers where it is integrated with that
from other transportation modes (e.g. rail, ferry, air)
to provide the public with integrated and
personalized dynamic schedules.
• Operator assignment • System monitoring• Static and real time
data exchange with
ISPs
ConclusionsConclusions
Frontier Rural ChallengesFrontier Rural Challenges
• Frontier / rural agencies have few staff persons, typically with limited technical knowledge & ITS experience
• Staff responsibilities are broadly focused and extremely varied
• Limited resources – budgets, access to competitive funding, and available rural-experienced consultants
• Few or no ‘off-the-shelf’ tools
SolutionsSolutions
• Collaborate with neighboring and similar regional agencies
• Continually identify new funding, resource opportunities, barriers and potential partners
• Support ‘local champion’ – innovation and involvement attract special funding and mutual benefits
• Choose vendors and contractors whose business model supports innovation & change
• Involve multiple consultants • Use systems engineering process
