Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is the second phase of a three-phase project that may result in the deployment of a statewide, multi-modal electronic payment system. Phase I of the project was completed in March, 2002 and focused on conducting a feasibility study in assessing the opportunities to develop and deploy a statewide, multi-modal electronic payment system. At the conclusion of Phase I, two recommendations were proposed for pilot programs. The purpose of the Phase II effort is to identify general requirements for a radio voice/data communications subsytem to support deploying a regional GPS-based Automatic Vehicle Location / Computer Aided Dispatch (AVL/CAD) system. This system could integrate onboard Mobile Data Terminals (MDTs) and central AVL/CAD software with the radio data communications infrastructure. The MDTs would allow frequent updates for dispatch on location, schedule and route adherence, driver-dispatch text messaging and driver schedule and route adherence feedback. This report will examine existing communications systems available to the transit agencies in the three regions: Bangor, Lewiston-Auburn and greater Portland. These systems will be evaluated in terms of area coverage, initial and recurring operating costs, feasibility, and AVL/CAD suitability. Alternative public and private networks for use in addressing communications needs will also be reviewed.

Book Synopsis Peninsula Transportation District Commission Route Deviation Feasibility Study by :
Download or read book Peninsula Transportation District Commission Route Deviation Feasibility Study written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many urban transit providers are faced with the problem of declining ridership on traditional fixed route services in low density suburban areas. As a result, most fixed route services in such areas are not economically viable for the transit provider. Ridership levels on such routes could be increased by adding more flexibility to the fixed route structure by replacing the fixed route with a route deviation service. The higher level of service offered by route deviation has the potential to attract non-traditional transit riders. Another reason why transit providers are turning to route deviation is the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990, which has brought forth new and greater responsibilities for transit agencies. With the law mandating that certain disabled persons must be provided complementary paratransit service at a nominal cost, public transportation providers were suddenly faced with the challenge of providing traditional fixed-route transit service while also serving individuals with disabilities. There are three categories of paratransit-eligible riders under the ADA: 1. Those who cannot independently board, ride, disembark from accessible vehicles. 2. Those who can independently board and ride an accessible bus but an accessible vehicle is not available for the route and time desired. 3. Those who have a specific impairment that prevent them from boarding or riding a bus. ADA requires that only the first of the three categories be provided service, and only if they want to travel within 3/4 mile of an existing fixed route. To accomplish this, around 550 fixed route systems across the nation have increased or added the availability of paratransit services (Balog, 1997). Consequently, there has been a notable and steady increase in the demand for paratransit by disabled people in the post-ADA era. Since the cost of providing accessible paratransit is definitely higher than the cost of accessible fixed route, the increased demand for paratransit is burdening transit agencies (Balog, 1997). Also, some individuals with disabilities currently using paratransit services could effectively use accessible fixed route services at a lower cost to the transit provider. This has led a number of transit providers to look for new options to encourage paratransit riders to use fixed route services. Most of these options are centered on improving the level of service of fixed route operations and making them more accessible to individuals with disabilities (Balog, 1997). One such option that has been tried by a few transit agencies in rural and suburban areas, with much success, is route deviation service. Route deviation has the potential to meet the challenges faced by urban public transportation providers in a more efficient manner than the current two service practice. Route deviation transit has been used effectively in a limited number of rural and small urban areas of the United States (Rosenbloom, 1996) and some suburban areas. However, it has not been proven to be effective in a large urban area. Currently, the Peninsula Transportation District Commission (Pentran) operates a fixed-route bus system with 13 routes in a service area composed of the cities of Hampton, Newport News and York County. Additionally, Pentran provides paratransit services for the disabled under the mandates of the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Book Synopsis Computer-aided Scheduling and Dispatch in Demand-responsive Transit Services by : David S. Kessler
Download or read book Computer-aided Scheduling and Dispatch in Demand-responsive Transit Services written by David S. Kessler and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2004 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scope of this synthesis is to (1) search out useful information on the use of computer-aided scheduling and dispatch (CASD) in demand-responsive transit (DRT) services, (2) develop an amalgamation or compendium of the current knowledge and successful practices used in computerizing the functions necessary to efficiently and effectively operate such DRT services, and (3) report on measures used to resolve specific problems in planning and implementing CASD. The ultimate objective in compiling a considerable storehouse of information is to make this information available to the public transit community. Private and nonprofit organizations that are providing DRT services will similarly benefit from a review of these results.

Book Synopsis Public Transport Planning with Smart Card Data by : Fumitaka Kurauchi
Download or read book Public Transport Planning with Smart Card Data written by Fumitaka Kurauchi and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collecting fares through "smart cards" is becoming standard in most advanced public transport networks of major cities around the world. Travellers value their convenience and operators the reduced money handling fees. Electronic tickets also make it easier to integrate fare systems, to create complex time and space differentiated fare systems, and to provide incentives to specific target groups. A less-utilised benefit is the data collected through smart cards. Records, even if anonymous, provide for a much better understanding of passengers’ travel behaviour as current literature shows. This information can also be used for better service planning. Public Transport Planning with Smart Card Data handles three major topics: how passenger behaviour can be estimated using smart card data, how smart card data can be combined with other trip databases, and how the public transport service level can be better evaluated if smart card data is available. The book discusses theory as well as applications from cities around the world and will be of interest to researchers and practitioners alike who are interested in the state-of-the-art as well as future perspectives that smart card data will bring.
