ANN ARBOR'S DISPATCHING SYSTEM

This paper attempts to describe in detail the operational procedures used in the computer-aided dispatching system installed at the Ann Arbor Transportation Authority facility in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It is designed to facilitate the needs of the demand-responsive mass transportation concept that has been introduced and is in operation in Ann Arbor. The system has two basic parts: the central control center and the mobile units that handle the digital transmission. /Author/
