Samenvatting
Automatic Vehicle Monitoring (AVM) systems are useful to improve the quality standards of public transport service; in general this improvement may be related to the increase of the attractiveness of public transport, in order to modify the modal split, and to reduce the costs by increasing the commercial speed. It is possible to achieve these improvements through a number of functions based on the AVM system and in particular related to the connections between this system and other systems useful to manage traffic control in cities (UTCS, Passenger Information Systems, VMS, and so on).
