ATTACHMENT "A-1"
AVA DESCRIPTION
See attached specifications.
76 Next Stop Annunciator
GMV offers an ADA-compliant annunciator system that will automate the process of announcing arrival at each stop when a transit vehicle is in service. The AVA system is fully integrated with the on-board MDT and also with each bus’s existing PA and/or speaker system.
Annunciator Hardware
Audio Processor
The processor receives text signal from MDT and
dynamically generates the stop announcement
audio, which is amplified and distributed to vehicle
speakers. This is a significant evolution in AVA
technology from less sophisticated systems that
rely on a 3.5mm audio line out of an MDT/VLU, or
an MDT/VLU that stores audio recordings.
Interior LED Sign
Signs display route and stop info that matches
announcements to meet ADA requirements. Signs
also display date/time and customer service
messages.
Microphones
GMV AVAS system includes your choice between a
handheld microphone with a push to talk button, or
a gooseneck microphone that can be outfitted with
a switch or a hands-free foot pedal. In some cases,
we can use existing microphones. Most XLR
microphones are compatible with the system, as
are a limited selection of other connection types. A
field survey will be required to confirm and the
agency should select a preferred option in case
existing microphones are not compatible.
Emergency Preparedness
Earthquake? Flood? Amber Alert? GMV offers the industry’s only AVA product that allows you to type a message at your computer and with a simple request, push that message out wirelessly and be playing in every single AVAS equipped vehicle within minutes.
