IVHS TRANSIT APPLICATIONS : RURAL/SMALL URBAN AREAS

This paper reports on an effort to study the application of APTS technologies to public transportation services as found in small and medium sized communities and in rural areas. To identify potential IVHS applications, direct input was sought from public transportation managers using a formal "focus group" approach. Group participants were asked to judge, in terms of their operations, the effectiveness of each APTS technology relative to its ability to achieve the specific goals of: 1) increasing demand; 2) reducing operating costs; and 3) increasing the comfort and convenience of users.
