Development and Field Testing of An Integrated Dynamic Transit Operation System (IDTO)

This report documents the research efforts to the design and development of an Integrated Dynamic Transit Operation System for suburban transit operations. The key concepts and operational scenarios for IDTO are specified based on the system requirements, and the IDTO system architecture is designed as an information system, along with the key functional components. An IDTO system is intended to enable TCONNECT, T-DISP and D-RIDE services and real-time transit information for transit operations and travelers. Under this project, a prototype IDTO system has been implemented and tested. The IDTO prototype system which includes the IDTO server, a dispatch interface and a traveler mobile app has been field tested and demonstrated with respect to a number of Tri-Delta Transit bus routes and BART routes connecting at identified points, with a special focus on the implementation and test of T-CONNET application. Data collected from the field operational test has been analyzed to obtain the key findings in terms of system performance, benefits and impacts of IDTO operations. The test results indicate that IDTO can effectively detect trip delays, reduce travel time and meet passengers’ needs in real-time.
