The Value of RTIG Standards and Guidelines
The purpose of the development of RTIG Standards and Guidelines was to ensure that there is a suitable suite of robust, open specifications to support the necessary aspects of RTI system implementation.
These documents assist implementers to:
- identify, select and validate equipment;
- to achieve cross-border interoperability;
- to enable flexible fleet management;
- to allow UK suppliers to effectively market to overseas customers.
The Integration of RTI into Bus Fleet Management
The DfT commissioned RTIG to undertake a review of how bus operators integrate their RTI systems into their fleet management processes and systems.
Inclusive passenger information - A guide to good practice for bus passenger technology providers
This document has been developed for those involved in the provision of information and other services in local authorities and the bus industry.
They aim to help ensure that passenger information is accessible to all people, consistently and effectively.
Approaches to Using Bus RTI to achieve traffic light priority
This report reviews the use of RTI systems by a number of UK local authorities to implement traffic light priority, explores the value of this to bus operations, and captures plans for the future.
RTI-UTMC Links Case Study Review
Integration between RTI and UTMC is still a limited affair. Although there are a number of ways in which the UTMC system might be integrated with an RTI system, at present integration is largely limited to bus priority.
Business case for RTI
The question of the ‘business case’ for real time information (RTI) is a perennial one, and one which it is difficult to answer definitively because of the number of factors involved in its evaluation. There have been reviews which attempt to answer this from different perspectives, most recently (and most comprehensively) from the RTIG study in East Kent. The outcome has been encouraging, but – at least insofar as patronage impacts are concerned – have not been unarguably conclusive.
Case Studies report on ETM OBU Bi-directional Links
This is one of the deliverables under RTIG Government Task 1.3:
Evaluation of implementations. It details the results of a number of case studies into bi-directional (or two-way) data exchange between ETMs (Electronic Ticketing Machines) and RTI system OBUs (On-bus Units).
Enablers and Blockers to rollout of RTI Systems
This is the deliverable for RTIG Government Task 1.3: Assessment of enablers/blockers.
An assessment of ‘enablers and blockers’ affecting those implementing RTI systems has been performed. The information compiled in this report will assist RTIG in promoting RTI and help it to identify deliverables that will assist its Members in successfully delivering systems.
