Richland County is home to the state capitol of Columbia and is the second most populous county in South Carolina with approximately 340,000 people. RSI and the county implemented a successful pilot system on several heavy duty vehicles and they are now in the process of equipping additional vehicles for an eventual full roll out.
The AVL project was spearheaded by the county's GIS (Geographic Information Systems) Department. The mapping software allows the county to view vehicle locations and status integrated with highly detailed maps and copious amounts of the county's existing geographic and infrastructure data.
