摘要：	Advanced Public Transportation Systems (APTS) technologies have been deployed by many urban transit systems in order to improve efficiency, reduce operating costs, and improve service quality. The majority of these deployments, however, have been in medium to large transit markets where the transit systems in turn operate within fairly sophisticated intelligent transportation systems (ITS) environments. Birmingham, Alabama has a relatively small transit system, employing only 77 vehicles, that operates within an immature but rapidly growing ITS environment. The purpose of this study was to identify APTS technologies appropriate to the Birmingham market and to develop alternative deployment scenarios that would address the immediate needs of a smaller transit system while maintaining potential for future ITS growth. The Birmingham Regional ITS architecture is addressed along with potential funding sources for APTS deployment in Birmingham. Three deployment scenarios are developed and offered along with specific implementation recommendations.
