Abstract:
A vast storehouse of information exists on many subjects of concern to the transit industry. This information has resulted from research and from the successful application of solutions to problems by individuals or organizations. There is a continuing need to provide a systematic means for compiling this information and making it available to the entire transit community in a usable format. The Transit Cooperative Research Program includes a synthesis series designed to search for and synthesize useful knowledge from all available sources and to prepare documented reports on current practices in subject areas of concern to the transit industry. This synthesis will be of interest to transit agency general managers, bus operations, planning, scheduling, safety, and procurement staffs, as well as agency communications and engineering staffs. It addresses various aspects of developing and deploying automated vehicle location (AVL) systems over the last 20 years. Current practice; AVL architecture and technologies; and the institutional context of AVL defined in terms of funding, justification, staffing, and procurement are discussed.
