COMPUTERIZED OPERATION CONTROL SYSTEMS FOR PUBLIC SERVICE SYSTEMS: STATE OF THE ART OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF STANDARDIZED SYSTEM COMPONENTS

The aim of the BON research project is to develop and carry out the operational testing of a computerized operation control system for light rail, streetcar and bus systems. In addition to linehaul operation of buses, demand-actuated usage should also be included. At the monment the system is being tested with regard to integrating the hardware and software components in order to prepare for the operational test. The system was developed takeing the operational and technical requirements established by other transport companies and VOeV as a basis. The system consists of two main components: an integrated vehicle information system (IBIS) and a central data processing computer. Universal usage is guaranteed on account of the modular design of all components. Success of the standardization efforts is reflected by the vehicle equipment. The integrated vehicle information system IBIS, as a piece of standardized vehicle equipment, can be ordered from several firms.
