In Passenger Transport, Curtis Pierce writes about the challenges of managing the streams of operational data available to transit agencies and presents some best practices. An example:
By merging CAD/AVL data with farebox data, a large bus operator can eliminate the problem of revenue that could not be assigned to a specific route because of login errors. Additionally, the geocoding in the CAD/AVL stream means that the system’s farebox data is now geocoded, providing much richer data for planning and reporting.
