Maui Regional ITS Architecture

Element Expanded Functional Requirements: Maui Bus Paratransit Vehicles

Functional Area: On-board Paratransit Operations
  1. The transit vehicle shall manage data input to sensor(s) on-board a transit vehicle to determine the vehicle's availability for use in demand responsive and flexible-route transit services based on identity, type, and passenger capacity.
  2. The transit vehicle shall receive the status of demand responsive or flexible-route transit schedules and passenger loading from the transit vehicle operator.
  3. The transit vehicle shall provide the transit vehicle operator instructions about the demand responsive or flexible-route transit schedule that has been confirmed from the center.
  4. The transit vehicle shall provide the capability to log passenger boardings and alightings and make passenger use data available to the transit center.
Functional Area: On-board Transit Trip Monitoring
  1. The transit vehicle shall track the current location of the transit vehicle.
  2. The transit vehicle shall support the computation of the location of a transit vehicle using on-board sensors to augment the location determination function. This may include proximity to the transit stops or other known reference points as well as recording trip length.
  3. The transit vehicle shall record transit trip monitoring data including vehicle mileage and fuel usage.
  4. The transit vehicle shall record transit trip monitoring data including operational status information such as doors open/closed, running times, etc.
  5. The transit vehicle shall send the transit vehicle trip monitoring data to center-based trip monitoring functions.
 

The Hawaiian language uses two diacritical markings. The 'okina is a glottal stop; and the kahako is a macron. The State of Hawaii strongly encourages the use of Hawaiian diacritical markings. The National ITS Architecture tool, Turbo Architecture, does not allow for the Hawaiian diacritical markings to be input and as such, customized service package diagrams, operational concepts and other outputs from Turbo are unable to reflect the diacritical markings. To ensure consistency in this ITS Architecture website, no Hawaiian diacritical markings will be used.
