Specifications include, but are not limited to: The proposed system should be completely inclusive of all necessary equipment and software. Glendale Transit’s automated vehicle location and passenger counter monitoring goals include a reliable, scalable system supporting a current fixed-route bus system consisting of three (3) weekday and one (1) weekend routes and nine (9) current vehicles viewable from both an Administrative Platform and a customer facing app/interface reflecting routes over a map with real time and passenger count updates on the location of the GUS buses. The AVL & PC system needs to accommodate the following: A. 35-Foot Coach Buses: • Three (3) buses: o 1 international Aero Lite 2016 o 1 Arboc 2019 o 1 freightliner Aero Lite 2024 (on order) • Automated vehicle location • Passenger counting • Track speed and stop durations • Track route history including miles travelled, location, speed, time and date • Assignable in the system to differing routes and schedules B. 25-Foot Cutaway Buses: • Three (3) Ford El Dorado’s o Model years 1 – 2015, 2 – 2017 o Three (3) Ford Starcraft o Model years 2024 (3 buses on order) • Automated vehicle location • Passenger counting • Track speed and stop durations • Track route history including miles travelled, location, speed, time and date • Assignable in the system to differing routes and schedules C. Passenger Counter: The Glendale Transit buses have only one (1) door that passengers both board and disembark through. Therefore, the automated passenger door reader/counter must be able to count the number of passengers boarding and exiting the bus through the same door. It must also use the GPS or have a way to identify the street location where each passenger boards and disembarks the bus along the assigned route. The system must provide a read out at the end of each shift of the total number of passengers boarding and disembarking. 3.1. System Details The system must be able to expand to a system to cover additional vehicles, routes, and technologies. The Contractor shall provide the appropriate installation plans and all parts/material/hardware/software for installation by Glendale Transit’s “make ready” vendor for any future purchases. The system should allow for use for the public to track the bus on a particular route. The system should provide the requested functionality for each of the types of vehicles specified above. Additionally, the vendors software and platform should be able to adapt to new technologies as they become available. 3.2 Product Specification The Contractor must detail their GPS tracking and passenger counting system and related components. All parts not specifically mentioned, which are necessary to provide a complete system, must be included in the system and conform in durability and quality of material and workmanship to that which is industry standard. All system components must be new and of current model under standard production by the manufacturer. The Contractor must ensure that the system is complete when delivered and is ready for operation. Omission of any essential detail from these specifications does not relieve the Contractor from furnishing a complete system.
