Functional Areas

On-board Paratransit Operations

• The transit vehicle shall manage data input to sensor(s) on-board a transit vehicle to determine the vehicle's availability for use in demand responsive and flexible-route transit services based on identity, type, and passenger capacity.

On-board Passenger Counting

• The transit vehicle shall count passengers boarding and alighting.
• The passenger counts shall be related to location to support association of passenger counts with routes, route segments, or bus stops.
• The passenger counts shall be timestamped so that ridership can be measured by time of day and day of week.
• The transit vehicle shall send the collected passenger count information to the transit center.

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 operational status information such as doors open/closed, running times, etc.
• The transit vehicle shall send the transit vehicle trip monitoring data to center-based trip monitoring functions.

Transit Center Fixed-Route Operations

• The center shall dispatch fixed route or flexible route transit vehicles
• The center shall collect transit operational data for use in the generation of routes and schedules.

Transit Center Paratransit Operations

• The center shall monitor the operational status of the demand response vehicles including status of passenger pick-up and drop-off.
• The center shall collect the log of passenger boardings and alightings from the paratransit vehicles.

Transit Center Passenger Counting

• The center shall collect passenger count information from each transit vehicle.

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 support an interface with a map update provider, or other appropriate data sources, through which updates of digitized map data can be obtained and used as a background for transit tracking and dispatch.
