MICROCOMPUTERS IN TRANSPORTATION. SELECTED READINGS VOLUME #2 SECOND EDITION

The Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) of the U. S. Department of Transportation provide training and technical assistance in the new and rapidly changing area of transportation application of microcomputers. These two agencies maintain up-to-date microcomputer references for transit and paratransit operators, transportation planners, and traffic engineers. This document is one in a series of selected readings covering technical aspects of microcomputer equipment, software, data communications and other topics. Each volume of selected readings will focus on a single aspect. Thus far, these are: Volume 1 "Getting Started in Microcomputers" Volume 2 "Selecting a Single User System" Volume 2 responds to the growing number of people in transportation-related industries who have decided to acquire a single-user microcomputer and are asking "What should I get?" It recommends a general selection procedure and describes hardware and software in detail. This second edition of Volume 2 updates information contained in the old Volume 2. Old Volume 2 is no longer available.
