PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AUTOMATIC VEHICLE LOCATION SYSTEMS FOR PUBLIC TRANSIT

Fang Wei Zhao, Lei Shen

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

This report describes current state-of-the-art automatic vehicle location (AVL) technologies, applications, and potential benefits. It summarizes the results from a survey of 135 transit properties. The survey results, in general, show that smaller agencies are less apt to implement AVL due to fewer occurrences of crime and congestion . Other survey results include the commonly used technologies, some of the planning practices, and implementation experiences. The report also provides information on some of the technical requirements of AVL systems.
