The Travlink Operational Test demonstrated the use of Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL), Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD), and Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) systems on Metropolitan Council Transit Operations (MCTO) buses in Minneapolis and surrounding suburbs, and the distribution of real-time bus schedule information and traffic information to travelers using Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS). The objectives of the Travlink Operational Test were to improve transit fleet management, improve the timeliness and accuracy of travel information, and encourage transit ridership.
