Advanced Public Transportation Systems (APTS Sample Clauses

Advanced Public Transportation Systems (APTS. ‌ The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) developed the Advanced Public Transportation Systems (APTS) Program as part of the U.S. DOT Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS) (Xxxxx and Xxxxxxx, 1994). The goal was to promote research and development of innovative applications to enhance the ability of public transportation systems to satisfy customer needs and contribute towards the accomplishment of wide-ranging community goals and local objectives. These technologies included automated vehicle location systems, smart card systems, dynamic ridesharing systems, passenger information systems, high occupancy vehicle systems, and vehicle component monitoring systems. As per Xxxxx and Xxxxxxx (1994), in the Advanced Public Transportation Systems: Evaluation Guidelines report, the original smart card systems (Automated Fare Collection Systems) envisioned using a contact or contactless plastic card, with a microchip and storage and processing capabilities, to facilitate the collection of fares, verification of travel, and the acquisition of information about passengers and vehicle usage. The system would increase the convenience of fare payments within and between modes and facilitate the implementation of a more equitable and efficient fare policy. For instance, the smart cart system could be used to facilitate the ability to provide discounted fares to special user groups (e.g., people with disabilities). APTS systems are a group of technologies that help increase the efficiency and safety of public transportation systems and provides users better access to information. Since the implementation of APTS technologies, there has been a transformation on the way public transportation systems operate and the delivery of services offered by public transportation systems. In addition, APTS systems can provide decision makers with information needed to make intelligent decisions on operations and services provided that can help improve ridership and riders' confidence in the transit system. APTS technologies can be divided into five broad categories that describe the technologies in relevance to the different transit applications (Xxxxx et al., 2000). The five APTS technology categories are presented in Table 1: Table 1: APTS Technologies In the State of Florida, public transportation agencies are continuously seeking opportunities to increase ridership and improve operational efficiency and quality of service. Therefore, transit agencies looked into Advanced Publ...
