Overview
◼ Advance public transportation system improves safety,
reliability, efficiency of the traffic and also reduces the
cost .
◼ It also leads to safety, secured, fastest transportation
and reduces the commute time between the
transportation and also lowers the transit fares.
◼ It is user friendly so every day new innovations are
upcoming to improve the transportation.
◼ Thus, Federal transit administration is investing a large
amount of money in developing new technologies.

Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL)
◼ It is a system which tracks and reports the vehicle
location accurately.
◼ Main objective of the system is supervision,
controlling and communication within the vehicle.
◼ Thus it helps in finding the vehicle’s situation and
prevents it from illegal matters, or any other problems

parking, getting into illegal matters, taking long
breaks and participating under malpractices, violating
traffic rules, over speeding the vehicle.
◼ It is not restricted to the location of the vehicle but
also informs about the variation in temperature in the
vehicle which is very important for the stuffs carried
& also informs about the leakage from the vehicle.

◼ Summing up the AVL system is very fruitful for
managing the large fleet.
◼ Its very useful in business like shipping, in banks, in
oil companies etc. to manage their fleet, behavior of
their drivers, position of their vehicles.
◼ Its mainly a spying technology for vehicles.
◼ Its not restricted up to finding the position of the
vehicle but also informs about the temperature
maintenance and leakage in the vehicle carrying oil.
◼ The installation of the system is very expensive.
