| Abstract | The Federal Transit Administration has developed the Advanced Public Transportation Systems (APTS) Program which is an integral part of the overall U.S. DOT Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS) effort. A major aim of the APTS Program is to promote research and development of innovative applications of advanced navigation, information, and communication technologies. These technologies would be designed and tested to achieve APTS Program goals directed toward enhancing the ability of public transportation systems to satisfy customer needs and contributing to the achievement of broader community goals and local objectives. The APTS Program goals and objectives will be discussed further within the context of the evaluation frame of reference. The wide array of new technologies provides a unique opportunity to discover innovative and useful applications in public transportation. These operational tests and evaluations will be the principal activities of the APTS Program. Real world testing will be done in urban and rural areas using those technologies which appear to offer promise and represent useful applications. Major technologies include automated vehicle location systems, smart card systems, dynamic ridesharing systems, passenger information systems, high occupancy vehicle systems, and vehicle component monitoring systems. |
