Ramos Systems, Inc. was founded in 1983 to provide
software consulting and services for developers of
computer aided dispatching systems for the transit
industry.
Ramos Systems has participated in the development of
transit dispatching and vehicle location systems as a
subcontractor, providing software systems for transit
companies all over the North America continent. Our
software was used in the development of systems for the
Ft. Worth Transportation Authority (The "T") in Ft. Worth,
Texas, Tidewater Regional Transit (TRT) in Norfolk,
Virginia, the Kansas City Area Transit Authority (KCATA)
in Kansas City, Missouri, Transit Authority of River City
(TARC) in Louisville, Kentucky, Pioneer Valley Transit
Authority (PVTA) in Springfield, Massachusetts, and
Omnitrans in San Bernardino, California.
Ramos Systems personnel have also developed software for
various other transportation industry projects around the
country including a traffic control system for the
Delaware Memorial Bridge in Wilmington, Delaware, a train
dispatch system for the Massachusetts Bay Transit
Authority (MBTA) in Boston, a taxi company dispatching
system in Dallas, a trucking company dispatching system in
South Carolina, and an electronic passenger information
system for the Spokane Transit Authority (STA) in Spokane,
Washington.
Ramos Systems has provided software design support for
projects such as the bus dispatching system being used by
Seattle Metro and the used by Le
Société de Transport de l'Outaouais (STO) in Hull, Quebec. We have provided proposal support for a number of projects
including the Southern California Regional Transportation
District (SCRTD) in Los Angeles and the Metropolitan Area
Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) in Atlanta. These
dispatching system projects have all involved the
transmission of data to and from microprocessor based
devices installed in the fleet vehicles, selective calling
of drivers, and the collecting of data for report
generation and performance monitoring.
Ramos also provides support to Transit companies in
specifying and acquiring Automatic Vehicle Location
systems. Advances in GPS technology have made it practical
to have constantly updated location and schedule adherence
information about every vehicle in a transit fleet. Ramos
Systems’ experience can help transit companies navigate
the myriad details of developing specification, selecting
a vendor, and managing the implementation of an AVL
system.
Ramos Systems is currently developing a set of software
packages to aid transit companies in managing its
resources. The first product in this line of software is
GeoSched™, a geographical scheduler
for fixed route
systems.
