ISP Traveler Data Collection

  • The center shall collect, process, and store transit routes and schedules, transit transfer options, transit fares, and real-time schedule adherence information.

On-board Transit Information Services

  • The transit vehicle shall broadcast advisories about the imminent arrival of the transit vehicle at the next stop via an on-board automated annunciation system.

On-board Transit Trip Monitoring

  • The transit vehicle shall track the current location of the transit vehicle.
  • The transit vehicle shall support the computation of the location of a transit vehicle using on-board sensors to augment the location determination function. This may include proximity to the transit stops or other known reference points as well as recording trip length.
  • The transit vehicle shall record transit trip monitoring data including vehicle mileage and fuel usage.

Remote Transit Information Services

  • The public interface for travelers shall collect and provide real-time travel-related information at transit stops, multi-modal transfer points, and other public transportation areas.
  • The public interface for travelers shall collect and present to the transit traveler information on transit routes, schedules, and real-time schedule adherence.

Transit Center Information Services

  • The center shall provide travelers using public transportation with traffic and advisory information upon request. Such information may include transit routes, schedules, transfer options, fares, real-time schedule adherence, current incidents, weather conditions, and special events.

Transit Center Vehicle Tracking

  • The center shall monitor the locations of all transit vehicles within its network.
  • The center shall determine adherence of transit vehicles to their assigned schedule.
  • The center shall provide transit operational data to traveler information service providers.

OPERATIONAL CONCEPTS

Stakeholder Roles and Responsibilities
Kauai County Transportation Agency
Provide Next Bus transit traveler information.
Track and evaluate schedule performance for all Kauai Bus vehicles.
 

The Hawaiian language uses two diacritical markings. The 'okina is a glottal stop; and the kahako is a macron. The State of Hawaii strongly encourages the use of Hawaiian diacritical markings. The National ITS Architecture tool, Turbo Architecture, does not allow for the Hawaiian diacritical markings to be input and as such, customized service package diagrams, operational concepts and other outputs from Turbo are unable to reflect the diacritical markings. To ensure consistency in this ITS Architecture website, no Hawaiian diacritical markings will be used.
