Download or read book Cost benefit Assessment of Implementing Automatic Vehicle Location AVL in Kansas Department of Transportation s Maintenance Vehicles written by Eric Meyer and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technological advances in computing, communications, and locating systems have been applied to a broad spectrum of the responsibilities shouldered by the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT), including maintenance activities. However, even though one specific technology - Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) - has been thought to have significant benefit for maintenance operations, investing in the technology has been difficult to justify because the benefits are not easily quantifiable and little hard data exists related to the benefits of applying AVL to highway maintenance. This report describes the technologies associated with AVL, discusses a national survey of transportation agencies conducted as part of this work, and presents an analysis of the costs and benefits of implementing AVL for use in KDOT maintenance vehicles and striper trucks.

Download or read book Computer aided Scheduling and Dispatch in Demand responsive Transit Services written by David S. Kessler and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2004 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scope of this synthesis is to (1) search out useful information on the use of computer-aided scheduling and dispatch (CASD) in demand-responsive transit (DRT) services, (2) develop an amalgamation or compendium of the current knowledge and successful practices used in computerizing the functions necessary to efficiently and effectively operate such DRT services, and (3) report on measures used to resolve specific problems in planning and implementing CASD. The ultimate objective in compiling a considerable storehouse of information is to make this information available to the public transit community. Private and nonprofit organizations that are providing DRT services will similarly benefit from a review of these results.
