This synthesis will be of interest to transit agency general managers, but operations, planning, scheduling, safety, and procurement staffs, as well as agency communications and engineering staffs. It addresses various aspects of developing and deploying automated vehicle location (AVL) systems over the last 20 years. Current practice; AVL architecture and technologies; and the institutional context of AVL defined in terms of funding, justification, staffing, and procurement are discussed. This report of the Transportation Research Board reports on the different approaches to AVL deployment used at selected transit agencies. It attempts to define the role of AVL for bus transit by examining objectives of implementation and both technological and operational frameworks.
