RTIG Organisational & Activities Carbon Footprint
This document provides the RTIG Board and its members with information on the carbon impact of RTIG and its activities - which forms a baseline against which the success of actions to reduce the carbon impact can be compared.
The report provides a preliminary assessment of RTIG's carbon footprint, focusing on partial Scope 1 and 3 emissions.
Requirements from a National Prediction Engine
This document has been produced for the Department for Transport.
It provides feedback to the Department on the requirements from RTIG members and the wider industry on the features and functions that they would expect from a national prediction engine.
Air Interface Protocol: Interoperability Test Report
This document, produced by RTIG, documents the activities and outcomes of the RTIG Digital Air Interface Protocol (DAIP) Interoperability Testing day held on 26 March 2013.
Demand Responsive Transport Systems Review
Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) offers public transport to areas which would not normally benefit from a regular bus service. Rural areas are the usual beneficiaries of DRT schemes as their low population and relative remoteness do not make them attractive for bus companies looking to run profitable bus routes.
Smart Cities: a joint position paper
This document is the final phase of the RTIG project Smart Cities: Transport’s Role . This work was undertaken in collaboration with the UTMC Development Group.
SIRI-SX: Best Practice
Passengers need multi-modal travel information which is accurate, timely, consistent and clear. Never is this more important than when a journey is disrupted. Arguably, disruption information is the most important information to passengers. When everything is running smoothly and as expected, many regular passengers will use information only to confirm what they already know.
Managing Bus Service Disruptions: Position Paper
This document is RTIG’s Position Paper on the principles, processes and tools used to manage disruptions in bus services.
This Paper has been developed by the RTIG Disruption Working Group, which has benefited from the expertise of public authorities, passenger groups and the private sector. It encapsulates our current understanding of the state of play as well as some high level guidance for practitioners, as at March 2015.
Managing Disruptions: the issues involved
During 2010 severe weather brought much of the UK to a standstill. Buses and trains were all badly affected. The transport industry was severely criticised for its lack of good quality, consistent and timely information to passengers during periods of severe disruption.
The Business Case for RTI: long-term results of the East Kent Trial
English local authorities have stated that the rate of investment in bus real time information (RTI) systems over the past four years is expected to continue over the next two, even though the funding available through the Government’s ‘kick start’ programme has now ceased. However, this is unlikely to be sustained unless the parties involved are convinced that there is a robust business case for RTI.
Analysis of Bus RTI Data: Current Practice and Issues
This document covers:
- the rationale for undertaking data analysis, and the potential benefits and constraints;
- the current practice in data analysis within both local authorities and bus operators;
- the nature of the data which is analysed, particularly where there is a reliance on external data;
- the trends which have become apparent during discussions and the issues which arose
