Improving Transit Performance with Advanced Transportation System Technologies

This report identifies opportunities to improve transit performance using Advanced Public Transportation System (APTS) Technologies, assesses transit operator viewpoints on and experiences with APTS technologies, and proposes how current adoption and utilization practices might be improved so that these technologies are used in a more efficient and effective manner. Three types of APTS technology are considered, automatic vehicle monitoring (AVM), advanced traveler information systems (ATIS), and advanced fare payment systems (AFP). Seven case studies of individual transit operators examine those that have adopted APTS technologies as well as those that have not. A survey of transit operators, some of which had adopted APTS technologies, investigated attitudes and processes surrounding implementation.
