Abstract:This handbook introduces the management and staff of small to medium sized transit operations to the problems of implementation of a microcomputer system. It presents a practical step-by-step process for introducing microcomputers to staff members and dealing with the technology and the implementation problem. This handbook is the third in a series and should be used as a companion document to Microcomputers in Transit : A Software Handbook and Microcomputers in Transit: A Hardware Handbook . Chapter One is a brief introduction to microcomputer hardware, software applications, and the issues faced in microcomputer implementation. Chapter Two describes various approaches towards implementing microcomputers and suggests a strategy to combine all of the strengths into a rational approach. Chapter Three details the preparatory steps to doing a needs assessment and developing an automation plan that will address all of the logistics and organizational aspects of introducing the machines. Chapter Four describes the steps for initial implementation when the microcomputers arrive, and Chapter Five suggests procedures for following up the implementation with additional applications that will extend the capabilities of the system.
