Automatic Wireless Announcement System (AWAS) is a prototype software system designed by the U2Labs and CCNY for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA).   AWAS generates and delivers public service, next bus stop and emergency announcements from a central location to one, all or a selected group of buses in the bus fleet. AWAS is capable of sending such messages in multiple languages and either as text or audio messages. On board AWAS unit allows for on-site testing of bus announcement capabilities.
