Abstract: The Efficient Deployment of Advanced Public Transportation Systems (EDAPTS) demonstration at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona assessed the viability of using the EDAPTS procurement, installation, verification, and validation processes in a small transit environment to reduce the cost of ownership for technology solutions. Modified Systems Engineering processes were used to deploy an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) solution on the Cal Poly Pomona Bronco Express campus bus system. This report provides a summary of methodologies used, outcomes, findings, recommendations and lessons learned stemming from the demonstration. The report explains the use of a modified version of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Systems Engineering “V-model” that helped the research team and stakeholders coalesce with a common understanding of expectations of what the procured system needed to do. The EDAPTS procurement process used by Bronco Express demonstrated a practical procurement and bidding methodology useful to small and medium transit agencies when acquiring ITS solutions. It also summarizes procedures that are effective for installing and testing lower-cost ITS systems and provides a practical methodology for verifying and validating them. Lastly, it compares the results with the original user needs and the performance specifications requested in the Bronco Express EDAPTS RFP.
