What is CAD/AVL?

CAD/AVL stands for Computer-Aided Dispatch/Automatic Vehicle Location. It is a technology commonly used in public transit and emergency services. CAD systems allow dispatchers to efficiently manage and coordinate resources, such as buses or emergency vehicles, by tracking their location, status, and assignments. AVL systems provide real-time location data for these vehicles, often using GPS. The combination of CAD and AVL enables improved response times, resource allocation, and overall operational efficiency.
