Project Description: This project will upgrade the SFRTA computer aided dispatch (CAD) capabilities on SFRTA trains.

Project Status: Planned

Project Stakeholders:

• South Florida Regional Transportation Authority

Project Service Packages:

• PT02: Transit Fixed-Route Operations (Tri-Rail Commuter Rail)

Project Information Flows:

Information Flow	Source Element	Destination Element	Status

Project Functional Requirements (Element - Functional Object):

• SFRTA Commuter Rail System - Transit Center Fixed-Route Operations
• 1: The center shall generate transit routes and schedules based on such factors as parameters input by the system operator, road network conditions, incident information, operational data on current routes and schedules, and digitized map data.
• 4: The center shall dispatch fixed route or flexible route transit vehicles.


• SFRTA Commuter Rail System - Transit Center Vehicle Assignment
• 1: The center shall assign individual transit vehicles to transit blocks.


• SFRTA Commuter Trains - Transit Vehicle Schedule Management
• 1: The transit vehicle shall receive a vehicle assignment including transit route information, transit service instructions, traffic information, road conditions, and other information for the operator.
• 8: The transit vehicle shall notify the transit center of vehicle location and operational status as the vehicle exits and returns to the transit facility to support future vehicle assignments.
