Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

This project was conducted during the period 1997 to 1999 to determine the most promising uses of new technology for delivering transit passenger information. The project was based on the premise that in order for transit to be more competitive with the automobile, transit passengers and potential transit passengers must have access to transit information and accessibility that approaches the level of information and access offered by the private automobile. With the advent of new technologies such as the Internet, the project proposed that there may be an emerging leader in new technologies that could provide this information. The project proposed to survey the existing technologies that are currently in use by transit systems, devise a way to compare these technologies, and select the most promising technologies for further study.
