Abstract:

This report presents an overview of the second generation Automated Emergency Response System (AERS2). Developed to assist transit systems in responding effectively to emergency situations, AERS2 is a microcomputer-based information retrieval system that provides train controllers, dispatchers, and supervisors with quick and accurate information. In contrast to the original AERS, AERS2 provides information through a color schematic map of a one-mile length of track on the upper half of the computer display screen and textual information on the lower half of the screen. The report describes the development and operation of AERS2, provides background information and a detailed description of the AERS2 data files, describes the operation and various functions of AERS2, and provides conclusions and recommendations for further action.
