DESCRIPTION


The Cambus transit system seeks a vendor to provide a Computer-Aided Dispatch and Automatic Vehicle Location (CAD/AVL) system designed to improve operational efficiency, automate dispatch processes, and enhance customer service. The solution must support dispatch, operator, supervisor, and administrative users with integrated modules and a web-based interface for use by dispatchers, supervisors, and administrators.

The system should provide real-time vehicle tracking using GPS, with frequent refresh intervals, and include automated dispatch features such as route and vehicle assignment, as well as operator management. It must also provide operator-facing software for mobile devices or tablets to deliver real-time route assignment and schedule adherence information. Reporting tools are required for analyzing ridership, on-time performance, vehicle and system history, and other key operational metrics, with features supporting National Transit Database (NTD) reporting.

Additionally, the system must allow Cambus staff to adjust route alignments and schedules to accommodate permanent route changes or temporary detours and service adjustments. A panic button feature should be included for operators, enabling covert distress signals to dispatch for safety or security alerts. Integration with existing operational centers and the current rider-facing application is essential.
