§Agency
/ Partner Cooperation
□Requires commitment to
share data and to interact with the 3rd party IDTO “provider”
§Traveler
Participation
□Passenger apprehension
sharing location data
§Availability
of Key
Information
□IDTO is dependent of
having both “static” Schedule Information as
well as current ‘Arrival
Time’/AVL data
§Standardization
of the Information
□Industry initiatives
such as the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) allow for a common format to
enable agencies to share information, however..
▪GTFS is not a ‘standard’
and as such, may not be a long term solution
▪GTFS-Realtime is a step
towards obtaining current Arrival Time information, but is not optimal for this
purpose
§Transferability
/ Scalability
□IDTO was designed with
the requirement that it support deployment in more than one region and with
varying types of transportation modes and operators.
