ATSIM

Automated Transit Stop Inventory Management (ATSIM) is a user-friendly web-based system designed for the efficient collection, analysis, update, and management of standard transit stop inventories for transit agencies. It is designed to keep track of transit stop facilities and their amenities. It automates the data collection and analysis process and avoids time-consuming manual data entry and duplication of records by individual agencies. The data collection component of ATSIM consists of a web and ATSIM device tablet interface that can be accessed wirelessly. It is designed to run on a device that has a camera, internet access, and a Global Positioning System (GPS). The system has the capability to store multiple pictures in the database and allows collection of over 100 standard attributes, user-defined fields, and GPS coordinates.

The ATSIM main menu consists of four components:

• Data Collection: Allows collection of over 100 standard attributes, user-defined fields, and GPS coordinates in latitude and longitude.
• Data Management: Allows users to export data and pictures, view and print reports, and generate queries and charts.
• Maps: Allows users to view and print the current transit stop map using Google Maps.
• Work Orders: Allows planning staff to communicate with maintenance personnel to carry out fieldwork related to transit stops.
