Also, removing the driver control over the GPS would help.There's a fundamental hardware problem with the GTFS-RT system that uses the GPS. The transmitter that's installed in each bus knows the vehicle number and geographic position. It does not know its route nor the trip id. This is vital information for tracking system performance. It requires some sort of human or machine input to combine the trip id with the vehicle number. This is done by using pattern recognition of the route profile or shape. It also means the system is SOL, if a bus deviates from its assigned route for any reason. |
