Project Functional Requirements (Element - Functional Object):

• HART Transit Operations - Transit Center Fixed-Route Operations
• 4: The center shall dispatch fixed route or flexible route transit vehicles.
• 6: The center shall provide instructions or corrective actions to the transit vehicle operators based upon operational needs.


• HART Transit Operations - Transit Center Vehicle Tracking
• 1: The center shall monitor the locations of all transit vehicles within its network.
• 2: The center shall determine adherence of transit vehicles to their assigned schedule.
• 3: The center shall provide transit operational data to traveler information service providers.
• 4: The center shall provide collected transit probe data to traffic management centers and traveler information service providers for use in measuring current traffic conditions.


• HART Transit Vehicles - Transit Vehicle On-Board Trip Monitoring
• 1: The transit vehicle shall track the current location of the transit vehicle.


• HART Transit Vehicles - 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.
• 2: The transit vehicle shall use the route information and its current location to determine the deviation from the predetermined schedule.
• 3: The transit vehicle shall calculate the estimated times of arrival (ETA) at transit stops.


• HART Transit Vehicles - Transit Vehicle Security
• 2: The transit vehicle shall perform local monitoring of video or audio surveillance data collected inside of transit vehicles, and identify potential incidents or threats based on received processing parameters.
• 3: The transit vehicle shall output an indication of potential incidents or threats and the processed video or audio information to the center along with the vehicle’s current location.

Project Operational Concepts:

Roles and Responsibilities

• Hillsborough Area Regional Transit Authority (HART)
• Coordinate transit security incidents with local police and county sheriffs.
• Provide operator instructions and receive schedule performance data from HART vehicles while in service.
• Provide transit security on all HART vehicles using silent alarms and on-board video surveillance.
• Track and evaluate schedule performance data for all HART vehicles.
