This task was provided in support to Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and to the Volpe Center. The APTS Mobile Showcase was developed to demonstrate advance transit technologies, in such a way that they can be easily understood and compared, to transit providers around the country. The APTS Mobile Showcase demonstrates ITS technologies such as automatic vehicle location, dispatching, fleet management, electronic fare payment, automatic passenger counters, traveler information, annunciates, traffic signal priority, navigation and other systems.
