Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

This report examines the use of Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) systems by transit agencies throughout the country and analyzes the various benefits that may be realized from the application of AVL systems. The implementation and current use of AVL systems by transit agencies in Texas is highlighted, including the development of the AVLS system in San Antonio. The report further examines the benefits provided by the use of AVL technologies, including the potential for energy savings and reductions in fuel consumption. The report also identifies possible demonstration projects and other innovative applications of AVL systems with different types of transit services in the state and additional uses of information generated from existing AVL systems.
