RSSDigital Recorders has been awarded a combined, region-wide contract valued at approximately US$1.2 million by North Carolina’s Triangle Transit Authority (TTA) and Durham Area Transit Authority (DATA), for the company’s automatic vehicle location software and its passenger advisory systems.

According to David L. Turney, the company’s chairman and CEO “This region-wide order is unique in that it marks the first time the Digital Recorders automatic vehicle location software is being adapted to enable the sharing of bus vehicle-related data between two transit agencies using Digital Recorders passenger advisory sign systems. This is of particular importance in instances where transit operating systems ‘interline,’” he said. As a result of this cooperative effort, both transit agencies’ call centre staff will be able to share bus vehicle arrival data and help monitor the other’s bus fleet arrival times.
