BAR CODING IN MASS TRANSIT OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE - BAR CODE APPLICATION GUIDE BOOK

This document is designed to serve as a reference for the transit industry professional who desires to evaluate bar coding for use in their own operations or who wishes to expand an existing bar code application. It is not designed to provide direction, but rather to provide a framework for creative thought relative to the dynamics of a transit property's own operational scenario. This guidebook serves as an adjunct to the final project report and is a more streamlined presentation of the report's most pertinent information. This document is organized into five chapters. The first chapter provides an introduction. The second chapter is an overview of transit bar coding applications. The third chapter is an overview of bar code system elements and technology. The fourth chapter provides a description of the management process which can be applied to the development of a bar code system. The fifth chapter addresses the process of performing cost justifications and payback analyses.
