Abstract:This document describes the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA)'s program to evaluate the application of automatic vehicle monitoring (AVM) in transit operations. After providing an overview in which AVM is defined, the document summarizes the history of the development and deployment of AVM in both Europe and United States, culminating in UMTA's two-phase program, Advance Area-Coverage Automatic Vehicle Monitoring. Different types of AVM system components and their operations are explained, with particular attention to UMTA's demonstration system in Los Angeles. AVM's costs and benefits are summarized and a look at future directions for AVM technology is also taken.
