Abstract
A system and method allow for optimum allocation of buses or similar vehicles. The buses may form a fleet in a metropolitan transportation system. Each bus may be assigned to complete one or more routes during a given time period. Using geo-satellite position system technology, a bus may determine its current location and provide the current location to a local bus operating center or hub. The hub may monitor locations of known obstacles, and may monitor progress of the bus in completing its route. If an obstacle could interfere with route completion, the hub may send an alert and an alternate route to the bus. If a bus cannot complete its assigned route due to the presence of obstacles, the hub may determine that one or more additional buses must be put in service to satisfy required bus routing.
