Smart Transport Information System

Executive summary

The modern world countries are overwhelmed by growing population, people are depending on public transport for commuting. The buses account more than 80% of the transport across the countries globally. The increasing passenger crowd is struggling with public transport due to the lack of schedule, uncertainty of timing, no connectivity details and no forecast of time to destination. Collecting the real-time information such as location and speed about the public transport is very much vital to streamline the transport system. This is possible by the GPS and GPRS technologies. With the help of smartphone app, we could provide the access to information in real-time anywhere. This enables the passengers to make informed choices on how to get from point to point in the most efficient and sustainable way.

Solution Overview

The passenger transport industry is getting advanced along with sophisticated technologies including tracking. The Real-Time tracking system transform’s the public transport into smart by making the vehicle data available for the passengers as well as the department authorities.

The real-time tracking of the vehicle is handled through Global Positing SystemGPS. GPS exchanges the data with server system via GPRS or cellphone network and the back-end system pushes the information to respective consumers like mobile phones, display units at the bus stop, etc.

Nowadays all the passengers are having smartphones and getting information instantly over phones. So, giving the real-time status of bus location is a real boon for the passengers not to waste the time and giving peace of mind specially for long distance buses which are running delay for hours.

System Highlights

• Every public transport vehicle will have the GPS tracker installed and are connected with the backend system via GPRS.
• The backend system has Master Data Management (MDM) with bus route information, its stopping points, the time table and crew.
• The backend system processes the data received from vehicle, understands the respective bus, bus route and the stoppages
• As the vehicle moves, the back-end system identifies the upcoming bus stop and applies a advanced algorithm to calculate Expected Travel Time (ETT) to reach the next bus stop.
• Backend system makes the Expected Arrival Time (EAT) data available to all consumers like the display system at the bus stop, passenger mobile app, etc.
• The passenger Mobile App which helps the passengers to get the real-time information about timing and connectivity to make travel decision.

Benefits

• Real-time transport information display at information centers, bus terminus and stops to reduce the passenger enquiries.
• Passengers can access the bus information right from their smart phones.
• Replacing the manual sign registers at specific stops by the report based on GPS results helps to reduce operating expenses.
• Helps the department to optimize resource utilization
• Asset tracking – real-time information about all vehicles in just few clicks.
• The system can also notify/alert the department authorities when the vehicles operated on different route than the designated route.
• Traffic pattern and driving pattern data for better fleet planning.
• Efficient fleet is a key ingredient in green transport system.
• Data collected from the vehicles can be used for variety of optimizations including the below ones o Route optimization o Fuel optimization o Resource optimization
