Abstract :
This paper describes the structure of an installed prototype real-time bus fleet management system. The automatic vehicle monitoring and control (AVMC) system is composed from three modules (a) the in-vehicle communications, (b) centralised communication network, and (c) route management computer system. Here we report on the simplicity and efficacy of the system.
