Abstract:The Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation (SMART) has installed an automatic scheduling and dispatch system (ASD) in Southeast Michigan in accordance with their plans to implement ITS as a site for an operational field test. The purpose of this new system is to improve mobility and increase the efficiency of paratransit services in the region, in addition to contribute to meeting national ITS goals. SMART is among the first urban transit systems to implement scheduling and dispatch technology within its paratransit system before its linehaul system and the first to implement automatic vehicle location within its paratransit operations before its linehaul operations. This report examines the effect of the scheduling and dispatch system upgrade on the paratransit schedulers within SMART.
