Abstract In 1970 UMTA solicited proposals and selected four companies to develop systems to demonstrate the feasibility of different automatic vehicle monitoring techniques. The demonstrations culminated in experiments in Philadelphia to assess the performance capabilities of each system. The purpose of the report is to analyze and compare those different AVM systems and to answer some specific questions that appear on the FCC Docket No. 18302. These questions are on the performance comparisons of the AVM systems with respect to accuracy, bandwidth, update rate, and data transmission capability. In addition some general considerations on the different AVM systems have been made with respect to performance. (Author)
