AUTOMATION FOR BUS OPERATION IN PARIS
For several years the Paris Transport Authority has been automating operations aiming to adapt bus traffic to demand or to improve bus control. The various aspects of the system are data collection on bus running and passenger flow, assignment of buses and establishing of bus scheduling and crew duty rosters, real-time tracking of bus movement and its perturbations, traffic control, passenger control and information. The paper discusses the various devices and processes involved in the systems that are under study, under experimentation or in operational use. As far as possible, the results and progress of the projects or of evaluations in process are given.
