THE USE OF TRANSPORT TELEMATICS IN INTER-URBAN AND RURAL BUS SERVICES

This paper considers how transport telematics can be applied to the inter-urban and rural bus public transport industries. The nature of the industries are first briefly examined. The functions which can be supported by transport telematics are identified and discussed. The relevant emerging and established technologies are then considered. A specific example is then provided based on the SAMPO project, an initiative which uses telematics systems to support demand responsive transport services.
