AUTOMATIC FLEET CONTROL: STATE OF THE PRACTICE

R Boldt

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to discuss the state of the practice of fleet management technology. With automated vehicle location (AVL) systems providing the core around which other fleet management technologies revolve, the article focuses on AVL. Advanced Public Transportation Systems (APTS), as core part of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and Intelligent Transportation Infrastructure (ITI), consists of the following subsystems: fleet management, traveler information, electronic fare collection, and transportation demand management. The following subsystems of fleet management are briefly discussed: communication, geographic information system (GIS), AVL, automatic passenger counters (APC), transit operations software, and traffic signal prioritization. Cost benefit analysis, institutional barriers, infrastructure problems, integration issues and an overview of vendor projects are also covered.
