Technical whitepaper – Radio systems

David Panter, one of Trapeze’s Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) experts, explains how Trapeze’s Automatic Vehicle Location Control (AVLC) system helps with voice communications across your public transport fleets.

This technical whitepaper describes the Trapeze AVLC radio system control as it might apply to public transport operations. You will find out:

• • Why voice radio is an important tool for coordinating your network
  • How the Trapeze AVLC system integrates voice facilities into the fleet management system
  • How this integration helps dispatchers communicate with individual vehicles, ad-hoc vehicle groups, and route groups

The whitepaper examines the system architecture, how the radios interface, and how calls are made in the control room and on the vehicle. Finally, the paper looks at how redundancy is implemented and what the future might bring for your public transport operations.
