| Abstract | A number of new technologies have been implemented with or proposed for paratransit systems. As part of the overall IP benefit cost study, the potential impact of two such technologies, digital communications and computer dispatching, have been analyzed in detail and are reported here. In addition, some preliminary analyses have been conducted on the potential impacts of computer-aided dispatching, computer control of radio channels, automated control-to-passenger communications, automated passenger information systems, automatic vehicle monitoring, and a new paratransit vehicle. |
