• Abstract:
  This document serves as an Operational Concept for the Transit Bus Stop Pedestrian Safety application. The purpose of this document is to communicate user ; needs and desired capabilities for and expectations of the Transit Bus Stop Pedestrian Safety application. This document also serves to build consensus among ; transit user groups and stakeholders concerning these needs and expectations. ; The Transit Bus Stop Pedestrian Safety application will alert nearby pedestrians indicating the transit vehicle’s intention of pulling into or out of a bus stop. The ; application allows messages to be sent from transit vehicles to instrumented transit stops that in turn provide audible or visual alerts to pedestrians in the vicinity of ; a bus stop. This Operational Concept describes how the application applies to motor buses; however the application is also applicable to other transit types such ; as light rail. Four scenarios are described, including: ; • Scenario 1. Motor Bus Approaching the Transit Bus Stop ; • Scenario 2. Motor Bus Departing from the Transit Bus Stop ; • Scenario 3. Warning to Pedestrians of Oncoming Vehicles when Alighting the Motor Bus at the Transit Bus Stop ; This document is intended to convey at a high-level how the application may work, so others may design and implement systems in the future. As such, the ; Transit V2I Operational Concept documents are “generalized” and not specific to a geographic area, an operating entity (e.g., transit agency), existing systems ; that may be in place for a region, agency operating procedures, nor political environment.
