Dallas Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) – Transit Vehicle Real-time Data Demonstration

This project demonstrated and evaluated the ability to collect and transmit transit location and passenger loading data to a transit management center(s) and/or Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) system in real time. It also demonstrated and evaluated the ability to use the data in real time in a decision support subsystem, for example, to make informed operational decisions. Included in the project were the development, installation, testing, and demonstration of on-board automatic vehicle location (AVL) and automated passenger counter (APC) equipment and communications technologies to support real-time connectivity between transit vehicles and central facilities to support potential applications such as vehicle location, speed monitoring, and passenger load monitoring. The utility of realtime transit vehicle data was explored and assessed, and the issues, challenges, and feasibility of use were examined.
