Transit Vehicle

This subsystem resides in a transit vehicle and provides the sensory, processing, storage, and communications functions necessary to support safe and efficient movement of passengers. The Transit Vehicle Subsystem collects accurate ridership levels and supports electronic fare collection.  An optional traffic signal prioritization function communicates with the roadside subsystem to improve on-schedule performance.  Automated vehicle location functions enhance the information available to the Transit Management Subsystem enabling more efficient operations.  On-board sensors support transit vehicle maintenance.  The Transit Vehicle Subsystem also furnishes travelers with real-time travel information, continuously updated schedules, transfer options, routes, and fares.
