Abstract

See full text

A method for trip management provided for an electronic guided bus that follows an electronic track. The method comprises receiving an assigned trip from a bus dispatch system, obtaining junction information based on the assigned trip, obtaining a current location of the electronic guided bus, identifying a junction the bus is at based on the current location of the bus and the junction information, and setting a main track for the bus to follow based on the desired track for the identified junction. The method provides an intelligent transit system in which dispatch processors estimate ridership demands based on the passengers' trip information, determine a plurality of trips based on estimated ridership demands, generate dispatch schedule for the trips, assign trips to the electronic guided buses, and communicate assigned trips to the electronic guided buses via communication devices.
