Scope of RTI Project
• Establish central RTI system at Merseytravel to predict real time
arrivals across the Merseyside transport network.
• Vehicle location data to be delivered to the Merseytravel RTI system
via server to server links from 3rd Party systems (bus and rail) or
directly from bus Electronic Ticket machine (ETM) using national
standards.
• Deliver RTI to customers using web, mobile and display
technologies.
• Enable Intelligent bus priority via links to and from UTMC

RTI / UTMC
• Develop Bus Priority Strategies – What conditions should trigger request for bus
priority? – Under what conditions will bus priority be applied?
• Decisions in central systems (both RTI and UTMC) – no additional on-street or on-vehicle equipment needed
• Trial in Liverpool area early in the New Year • Bi-directional flow of data
– Road Link transit times -> better predictions in RTI – Bus RTI data -> use in UTC
