Flexible Operation Command and Control System for Public Transit
Experience gained from automated public transportation command and control management as well as from demand responsive transportation systems (DRT) has led to the development and deployment of the flexible operation command and control system (FOCCS) that was set up in the Lake Constance County, West-Germany under the sponsorship of the German Ministry of Research and Technology. FOCCS has been developed for requirements of public transportation users by a flexible combination of all specific operation modes within a public transportation service area. Using the most modern information, communication and control technology, FOCCS is able to integrate rail services, line-haul bus and DRT services into a uniform transportation network. Components for the planning and management of the transit operations are also added.
