Intelligent Scheduling and Dispatching in an ITS-enabled World
Para-transit trips are scheduled, and on day of service, dispatched in response to changes in the trip set and unpredictable traffic conditions. With AVL/MDC on vehicles, ITS data flow represents 20-20 vision eyes for dispatchers to “see” the world in real-time, and powerful voice for dispatchers to “tell” drivers about potentially drastic and massive changes to their work in real-time. Prior polling of drivers via voice radio are analogous to blurred vision and hoarseness, limiting the scope of dispatching actions. For Transit Authorities of some size, automatic scheduling and dispatching systems are crucial to help dispatchers as they schedule requests and move trips around to maintain efficient fleet usage and honor all trip commitments. But with ITS, more is now possible. We present requirements to new, intelligent dispatching options in the ITS-enabled world, and how these requirements are being met by ADEPT, StrataGen’s automatic scheduling and dispatching system… View the white paper.

Implementing ITS in New York City
New York City Transit provides the largest para-transit service in the world, scheduling more than 20,000 trips on weekdays with ADEPT, StrataGen’s automatic scheduling & dispatching system. In 2007, NYCT kicked off the ITS AVLM project to equip all vehicles with AVL/MDC, to automatically update ADEPT with the actual world state in real-time, free dispatchers to take corrective action based on accurate data, and communicate manifest changes to drivers in real-time. This paper reports AVLM project status, and enhancements to the Adept system to maintain responsiveness in light of the unprecedented volume of ITS information flow associated with dispatching up more than 20,000 trips.
