LYNX
The
Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority (LYNX) pilot is a Transit
IDEA project partially funded by the Transportation Research Board of the
National Academy of Sciences. This pilot demonstrates the use of TCIP in an
operating transit environment to:
1)
Transfer transit
schedule information between subsystems.
2)
To provide automatic
vehicle location.
3)
To provide real-time
bus locations to dispatchers.
4)
To provide real-time
service information to passengers.
King
County Metro (KCM Seattle) has a rapidly evolving ITS infrastructure. KCM also
has a number of Internet connected Information Service Providers (ISPs) that
connect to their existing information systems to obtain KCM data. The ISPs perform
value-added services with this data and distribute it to the KCM’s riders.
This
pilot was designed to provide a standards-based access point to KCM’s data so
that KCM can evolve their ITS and IT systems without continually changing the
interface to the ISP’s.
MTA Maryland
The MTA-Maryland
has a complex array of ITS systems from several transit suppliers. There is
considerable duplication of information among these systems. The information in
these systems is in disparate proprietary formats and is not shared or
leveraged to provide cross-platform value-added services.
This pilot is intended to facilitate
information usage across systems from different venders by sharing information
on the buses in TCIP format, and be providing a TCIP-based central data repository
that allows office systems to obtain and store data in a common format regardless
of its source.
