| Functional Requirements: |
On-board Maintenance
- The transit vehicle shall collect and process vehicle mileage data available to sensors on-board.
- The transit vehicle shall collect and process the transit vehicle's operating conditions such as engine temperature, oil pressure, brake wear, internal lighting, environmental controls, etc.
- The transit vehicle shall transmit vehicle maintenance data to the center to be used for scheduling future vehicle maintenance.
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.
- The transit vehicle shall receive the status of demand responsive or flexible-route transit schedules and passenger loading from the transit vehicle operator.
- The transit vehicle shall provide the transit vehicle operator instructions about the demand responsive or flexible-route transit schedule that has been confirmed from the center.
On-board Transit Fare Management
- The transit vehicle shall read data from the traveler card / payment instrument presented by boarding passengers.
- The transit vehicle shall determine the traveler's travel routing based on the transit vehicle's current location and the traveler's destination.
- The transit vehicle shall calculate the traveler's fare based on the origin and destination provided by the traveler as well as factors such as the transit routing, transit fare category, traveler history, and route-specific information.
- The transit vehicle shall have access to the complete range of transit services (routes and schedules) that are available to the traveler.
- The transit vehicle shall provide a transit fare payment interface that is suitable for travelers with physical disabilities.
- The transit vehicle shall include a database on-board the transit vehicle for use in fare processing from which the fares for all possible trips within the transit operational network can be determined.
- The transit vehicle shall support an emergency fare structure overriding all other fares that can be activated during disasters, states of emergency or evacuations.
- The transit vehicle shall provide fare statistics data to the center.
On-board Transit Security
- The transit vehicle shall perform video and audio surveillance inside of transit vehicles and output raw video or audio data for either local monitoring (for processing or direct output to the transit vehicle operator), remote monitoring or for local storage (e.g., in an event recorder).
- The transit vehicle shall perform local monitoring of video or audio surveillance data collected inside of transit vehicles, and identify potential incidents or threats based on received processing parameters.
- The transit vehicle shall output an indication of potential incidents or threats and the processed video or audio information to the center along with the vehicle’s current location.
- The transit vehicle shall output an indication of potential incidents or threats and the processed sensor information to the center along with the vehicle’s current location.
- The transit vehicle shall accept emergency inputs from either the transit vehicle operator or a traveler through such interfaces as panic buttons, silent or audible alarms, etc.
- The transit vehicle shall output reported emergencies to the center.
- The transit vehicle shall receive acknowledgments of the emergency request from the center and output this acknowledgment to the transit vehicle operator or to the travelers.
- The transit vehicle shall monitor and output surveillance equipment status and fault indications.
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.
- 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.
