California PATH Program Communications System

This vehicular network diagram sample shows the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) from the California PATH (Partners for Advanced Transportation Technology) program. It was designed on the base of the diagram "California PATH Program Communications System" from the website of the Intelligent Transportations Systems Joint Program Office (ITS JPO), US Department of transportation. "Communications systems, particularly MDTs (mobile data terminals), are often integrated with computer-aided dispatch and scheduling (CADS) systems by medium to large transit agencies. This combination allows dispatchers to make optimal changes to itineraries when necessary and to automatically communicate updated information to drivers. Communications systems can also be integrated with automatic vehicle location (AVL) systems to provide real-time location data with every communication exchange. This information can be transmitted in voice or text form." [pcb.its.dot.gov/factsheets/ct/ct_overview.aspx#page=common] The vehicular network diagram example "California PATH Program Communications System" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Vehicular Networking solution from the Computer and Networks area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
