Abstract

The ITS Intelligent Transportation System is provided as a modular construction set for enhanced fleet navigation and operational management, as well as passenger service and information. ITS provides fully autonomous vehicle operation through shifting as much intelligence as possible from the control center to the vehicles. ITS utilizes Global Positioning System (GPS) and/or dead reckoning for autonomous vehicle location (AVL) and vehicle navigation and provides the fully autonomous vehicle functions for AVM, including schedule adherence, traffic signal pre-emption, and management of on-board passenger service facilities such as destination display, stop announcement and passenger counting.
