INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN BUS FLEET MANAGEMENT

The rate of use of computerized fleet management information systems in the transit industry is investigated, and it is concluded that transit fleet management underutilizes automated systems. Next the evolution of the state of the art of fleet management systems is examined. Directions are hypothesized for the future development of computerized systems. Last, elements that should be considered in the planning of a system are discussed.
