This synthesis describes the state of the practice in real-time bus arrival information systems, including both U.S. and international experience. The panel for this project chose to focus on bus systems, rather than all transit modes, and on the following six key elements of these systems: Bus system characteristics; Real-time bus arrival information system characteristics, including information about the underlying technology and dissemination media; System prediction, accuracy, and reliability; System costs; Customer and media reactions; and Institutional and organizational issues associated with the system. This report includes a review of the relevant literature, in addition to the results of a survey that was conducted as part of this project. |
