Comments

  • A Typology should not have an Emerging Technology Section.
  • BRT is an environment for Application of ITS and does not fit into this typology.
  • Communications Based Train Control fits into Operations Decision Support.
  • Moved HOV monitoring into Security section since it is an enforcement function.
  • Reorganized Operations Software, GIS, and other functions into realtime (TODSS) and planning decision support.
  • Reorganized to capture real time versus static information.
  • Add
    • Pedestrian flow management and station control
    • Station Cars – Access support
    • Parking management/guidance
    • Additional Security Detail
  • Moved Dynamic routing up into systems management.
  • Moved Electronic Payment to Customer Oriented.
  • Moved Security and Safety to Operations Oriented.
