RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSIT ITS DEMONSTRATION |
|
| Project Status: | In Progress | |
| Project Type: |
Deployment/Integration |
|
| Project Description: | The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) in association with the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC), the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA), and SunLine Transit Agency have developed a demonstration program which will test the application of ITS technologies for providers of public transportation. Specifically the goal of this demonstration will be to test ITS system applications on transit operations, establish the standards and criteria for open environment technology, assess transit operational productivity increases from such applications, evaluate cost effectiveness, and identify the means, methods and actions required to implement and integrate ITS technologies into traditional fixed route transit, demand responsive transit, and non-traditional transit services such as smart shuttles. The demonstration has three primary objectives: (1) Enhanced customer information (which integrates customer information with system dispatching through the use of real-time information); (2) Fare collection and operational performance (through the use of telemetric monitoring of on-route/time performance and ridership can be gathered in real-time); (3) Vehicle telemetry (automated monitoring of critical vehicle safety and maintenance systems). The FY 99 Integration Program funding will be used to fund the demonstration program which will test and quantify system-wide transit productivity improvements. | |
