PT03-Dynamic Transit Operations

Status: Future

Description

The Dynamic Transit Operations service package allows travelers to request trips and obtain itineraries using a personal device such as a smart phone, tablet, or personal computer. The trips and itineraries cover multiple transportation services (public transportation modes, private transportation services, shared–ride, walking and biking). This service package builds on existing technology systems such as computer–aided dispatch/ automated vehicle location (CAD/AVL) systems and automated scheduling software, providing a coordination function within and between transit providers that would dynamically schedule and dispatch or modify the route of an in–service vehicle by matching compatible trips together. TI06 covers other shared use transportation options.
