As a direct data interface between dispatcher and driver, a 4 K minicomputer with a very efficient program helps resolve many thorny problems in large fleet dispatching. Data bursts of 300 mS at the beginning of each radio transmission reliably convey the identification and address information with little interference to voice transmission. Thec oncept of city-wide as opposed to zone coverage is feasible due to the even loading of dispatchers made possible by random access to any channel. Performance objectives of more rapid dispatching, improved load factor on vehicles, and better management are being met, with the result that an early expansion and the addition of other facilities is predicted.
