Functional Areas

On-board Transit Trip Monitoring

• 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 record transit trip monitoring data including vehicle mileage and fuel usage.
• The transit vehicle shall send the transit vehicle trip monitoring data to center-based trip monitoring functions.
• 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 recor
• The transit vehicle shall track the current location of the transit vehicle.

Transit Center Vehicle Tracking

• The center shall determine adherence of transit vehicles to their assigned schedule.
• The center shall monitor the locations of all transit vehicles within its network.
• The center shall provide collected transit probe data to traffic management centers and traveler information service providers for use in measuring current traffic conditions.
• The center shall provide transit operational data to traveler information service providers.
• 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.
