TELEBUS--EXPERIENCES, DEVELOPMENT TRENDS AND OPERATIONAL LIMITS

A fundamental part of this project is the step-by-step development of the Telebus service. Each developmental step to be tested is based on previous steps. As a result of this method, which meant that knowledge could be gained from operating the system, some new requirements have been drawn up. Individual system components of the previously defined concept need to be redefined or modified, or have proved to be unnecessary. This method guarantees that there is permanent feed-back between research, development and operation, but has also resulted in changes being made to the schedule. Berlin was able to take over the Telebus service with a computerised supervision system on January 1, 1982. However, experience has shown that new developments in the field of data radio and studies of alternative types of operation are necessary in order to achieve a more stable form of operation. This is why operational research will be continued in close co-operation with the operator.
