PACIFIC RIM TRANSTECH CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS. VOLUMEI. IVHS TRANSIT APPLICATIONS - RURAL/SMALL URBAN AREAS

In an effort to identify potential IVHS (intelligent vehicle highway systems) applications, direct input was sought from public transportation managers. A 'focus' approach was used to encourage objectivity and depth of coverage, and officials representing different public transportation services, including fixed-route bus, paratransit, ridesharing, and rural public transportation, participated in the focus groups. Group participants were asked to judge, in terms of their operations, the effeciveness of each APTS technology relative to its ability to achieve certain specific goals: increasing demand; reducing operating costs; and increasing the comfort and convenience of users. The study findings are presented and discussed.
