Abstract:

TRAVLINK demonstrated the use of Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL), ComputerAided dispatch (CAD), and Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) systems on Metropolitan Council Transit Operations (MCTO) buses in Minneapolis, Minnesota and western suburbs, and the distribution of real-time bus schedule information and traffic information to travelers using Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS). The ATIS network consisted of a computer on-line service using videotext terminals and personal computers, “smart” kiosks, electronic signs, and display monitors. The project location was a newly reconstructed freeway that was designed to include a significant transit and ridesharing element. TRAVLINK was the first operational test to tie together AVL, CAD, and AVI to provide real-time bus information to passengers and transit providers.
