INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS: HELPING PUBLIC TRANSIT SUPPORT WELFARE TO WORK INITIATIVES

The study was conducted to identify ITS technologies that transit systems are using, particularly to aid in the progress of the Welfare to Work Initiative. ITS technologies categorized in fleet management and operations, traveler information systems, and electronic fare collection were identified and presented to transit management for selection of technologies used by the systems. The technologies within transit management include automatic passenger counter, automatic vehicle locator, geographic information systems, scheduling and dispatching, traffic signal priority. Two different surveys were used to gather information for the study.
