Summary In Taiwan, most of the counties and cities have already deployed the Advanced Public Transportation System (APTS). The system can provide passengers with the real-time bus information, such as the estimated arrival time and show the title of the in-coming bus-stops to relieve the uncertainty and anxiety of passengers. In addition, it can help bus companies to simultaneously monitor their vehicles' locations and drivers' behaviors. Moreover, the information acquired from APTS can be applied by the government to supervise the operation of bus companies, resulting in reducing manpower for the evaluation of bus service quality and the audit of operation subsidization. It is also beneficial for the government to realize bus companies' operation condition in order to make more appropriate policies and implement and more efficient administration measures.

  This project is the first phase of a two-year plan. The topics discussed in this project contain:

To review the related domestic and foreign developments.
To study the government's demands for management purposes. 
To analyze the techniques of related APTS technologies. 
To propose the modules for an ideal APTS management information system for different levels of government authorities. 
To program and test the core modules.

  The outcomes of this project can be used as a reference for the government authorities which want to develop a similar system to help them properly conduct their duties required by the relevant regulations.
