摘要: |
This paper examines the use of an automatic vehicle location (AVL) system with the paratransit services operated by the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County (Houston METRO). The Texas Transportation Institution (TTI), in cooperation with METRO, has been evaluating the METROLift AVL system. This paper examines the use of the AVL system and its impact on METROLift services. It includes an assessment of the performance of the AVL system, changes in METROLift service performance response measures, and the reaction of operating personnel. Additional enhancements to paratransit services through the use of ITS technologies are also identified. (A) For the covering abstract see IRRD 881118. |
