  1. GIS Data in Real-Time Transit Management Systems 2011 GIS in Public Transportation Conference St. Petersburg, FL, September 14, 2011

  2. GIS Data in Real-Time Transit Management Systems • Real-Time TMS: Consumers of GIS Data • GIS Data Use Cases • Non-GIS Data for Real-Time TMS • So WhereareGIS in the Real-Time Action? • Into the Future

  3. Real-Time TMS: Consumers of GIS Data • Capital Projects • Scheduling Systems • Computer Aided Dispatch / Automatic Vehicle Location (CAD/AVL). Fixed-route and Demand Responsive • Traveler Information. Trip Planning, Passenger Information

  4. GIS Data Use Cases: Design Inputs for Capital Projects • Land Mobile Radio Coverage Simulations and Design • Communications Systems Backhauls • Wayside Equipment of Real-Time Systems • Automatic Train Control Systems • Traffic Signal Priority • Wayside Passenger Information

  5. GIS Data Use Cases: Transit Scheduling Support • Demand Responsive: Trip Routing Based on Reservations, including Turn-by-Turn Instructions • Demand Responsive: Geocoding of Customer Addresses • ADA Paratransit (US): Determination of Service Eligibility (Within ¾ Mile Corridor of Fixed Route) • Fixed-Route: Creation of Paddle Driving Instructions • Fixed-Route: Planning of Detours and Bus Bridges

  6. GIS Data Use Cases: Yards • Determine Geo-fences for Yard-only Functions • Monitor Pre-service Checks (Wheelchair cycling) • Monitor Maintenance Movements • Manage Yard Layouts for Yard Management Systems • Maintain Parking Lanes and Slots • Maintain Sensor locations (Wireless, Transponders) • Support In-building and Yard Wireless Coverage Surveys

  7. GIS Data Use Cases: Passenger Trip Planning • Geocoding of Addresses and Landmarks • Reverse-Geocoding of Lat/Lon to Fixed Route Stops and Stations • Walking Directions • Map Presentation

  8. Non-GIS Data for Real-Time TMS • Stop Points Including Bay Lengths • Route Patterns with Distances Between Stops • Schedule, Blocks, Duties, Operator Assignments • Passenger Information Display Locations • TSP and On-Board Passenger Information Trigger Points

  9. So WhereareGIS in the Real-Time Action? • GIS Primarily Supports Up-Front Design, Planning and Scheduling • When Do Transit Operations need GIS and Maps? When they Weren’t Prepared! (In an Ideal World) • In Operations, GIS Supports Last-resort Actions and Emergencies Management

  10. Into the Future • Integrating of “Gray Areas” between GIS and Non-GIS • Maturing Stops and Stations Concepts Into a Public Transportation Access Network • Traffic Signal Priority Engineering • Wayside Inventory and Asset Management • Emphasize of Accessibility in Design Criteria • Leveraging of Communities’ Engagement into Data and Transit Developer Ecosystems
