If you’re in the transit world, you’ve probably heard of CAD/AVL, but what exactly is it? CAD/AVL stands for Computer-Aided Dispatch and Automatic Vehicle Locator. Simply put, it’s a system that helps transit agencies track their vehicles in real-time, dispatch buses efficiently, and improve overall service. Think of it like a supercharged GPS for buses that helps keep everything running smoothly.
