Abstract:

Intelligent Vehicle-Highway Systems (IVHS) technologies include a range of communications and control technologies. The U.S. Department of Transportation has applied IVHS technologies, such as electronic payment media, automatic vehicle locator systems, and intelligent databases, to highways and roadways. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA), recognizing the importance of this technology and its potential applications to public transit, has now made IVHS technologies a priority research and development program through their Advanced Public Transportation Systems (APTS) Program. Central to the APTS program is the "mobility management" approach to service delivery. The Mobility Manager is a mechanism for achieving the integration and coordination of transportation services offered by multiple providers (public, private for-profit, and private non-profit) involving a variety of travel modes (bus, taxi, van pool, rail, etc.). This report contains the results of an investigation into one area of technological advancement--computer dispatching and scheduling technology. The central research question is whether computer dispatch technology is, or will be, capable of effectively improving the efficiency of dispatching shared-ride vehicles on a real-time basis.
