Bus Sub-Systems. DASH buses include the regional Cubic/GFI Odyssey fareboxes, as well as on-board security cameras purchased through Apollo Video. There is no centralized computer system or centralized logon on the buses; none of the on-board systems are integrated.
Bus Sub-Systems. All of ART’s buses are equipped with the following: • Regional Smart card system utilizing Cubic/GFI Odyssey fareboxes, utilizing the latest version of software as maintained by WMATA on behalf of the region. • Digital Recorder Inc (DRI) stop announcement system with automated passenger counters. • Real Time Connectionz system to provide passengers with real time arrival information (similar to NextBus). None of the on-board systems are integrated.
Bus Sub-Systems. CUE buses are equipped with NextBus for real-time arrival information, and Luminator system for stop announcement, in addition to the SmarTrip- enabled fare box. There are three separate mobile data terminals on-board, as none of the on-board systems are integrated.
Bus Sub-Systems. Other than the Cubic/GFI Odyssey farebox, there are no other on-board systems on Connector buses.
Bus Sub-Systems. CADD/AVL – Loudoun has installed the FutureFleet system, by a company out of Ireland called Avego. This system was purchased as, and is being used for, a schedule adherence system. Once the real-time data software is vetted and proven reliable, we will present it to the public as an RTPI system. The GPS devices are Dell Streak 5s. • GPS - Loudoun has two GPS devices on board the buses. The Air- Trak devices are low end devices that allow us to track buses in real-time and historically for up to 35 days. There is no routing or bus stop adherence capability with this system. The Avego devices and software are listed in the last bullet and is the direction that Loudoun is moving in. We do have the bus stops geocoded in both systems. • Cellular antenna and modem - The Loudoun commuter bus drivers are using Nextel, push to talk, devices. These are handheld devices that are not mounted in the buses. • Operator interface - The drivers have to load the proper code into the Luminator display unit and the new Avego system. • In-vehicle modem - The fareboxes have wireless connectivity through an access point in the garage. The new accident/incident cameras have wireless connectivity through a different access point in the garage.
Bus Sub-Systems. Buses have AVL/CAD, Automatic Vehicle Monitoring (AVM), GPS etc. Currently there is no centralized computer system on the bus controlling all peripheral equipment/systems. MTA has a capital project underway to solicit a vendor to provide a central on-board computer and replace peripheral equipment.
Bus Sub-Systems. Ride On buses are equipped with the latest generation CAD AVL system ACS Smart Traveler Plus for real-time bus arrival information, and the AVL interfaces with Trapeze for schedule data. A router is utilized for Wi-Fi Apollo video system. The radio system is integrated with the farebox to allow login through the farebox for the radio. CAD/AVL log on is also integrated with the farebox, such that the drivers log on only once, via the farebox Operator Control Unit, for both Farebox and CAD/ACL.
Bus Sub-Systems. Currently, Grayhawk Technologies mobile data terminals (MDTs) are installed on 25 buses of the PRTC local “flexible route” fleet (see link for details xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/indexAbout.asp). Currently, bus operators log into the Greyhawk MDTs with their operator number and/or bus route. NavTeq provides the base GIS maps. Trapeze FX stores the bus stop locations as well. PRTC receives Automatic Vehicle Location / GPS information at dispatcher workstations through Nextel Phones (Motorola i365) installed in every vehicle and a Java-based phone application called Air-Trak. However, PRTC will soon upgrade its entire fleet to a Trapeze ITS CAD/AVL system with completion expected in December 2013. PRTC will continue to purchase NavTeq GIS maps. With the future Trapeze ITS system being implemented, PRTC is pursuing a single point of log-on that will ideally include logging into the farebox. All buses have cellular phone service through Sprint/Nextel with data plans and Motorola i365s. The 25 buses with Greyhawk MDTs have AT&T cellular data plans. The 43 buses with Apollo Video real-time surveillance systems have 3G cellular data plans through Verizon. Trapeze ITS has proposed to use the Verizon network for its data communications. Only the 43 buses equipped with the Apollo system have onboard routers (RR-WT210 from Apollo) and on-board Wi-Fi. The future Trapeze ITS system will include Wi-Fi routers on all vehicles in the fleet.
Bus Sub-Systems. Prince Georges’ County buses are equipped with AVL/Nextbus/GPS systems. Buses also have security cameras, as well as the Cubic/GFI Odyssey farebox. None of the on-board systems are integrated at present.
