Loading and Line Inefficiency
Not knowing passenger numbers in real time leads to over- or under-planned trips and wasted capacity.
Public transport that is safe, efficient and fully under control, bringing vehicle, stop and line onto one screen.
We understand the operational needs of urban public transport in depth, and in our own R&D center we develop comprehensive safety and operations solutions for municipal buses and public transport fleets: advanced telemetry systems, AI-powered camera recording systems and RF-ID based passenger counting systems.
Line efficiency, driving safety and central management directly affect one another in public transport.
Not knowing passenger numbers in real time leads to over- or under-planned trips and wasted capacity.
A lack of transparency in field operations makes processes harder to manage and costs efficiency.
Risks such as harsh braking, phone use and seat belt violations are not detected in real time, so accident risk rises.
Scattered vehicle, stop and line data prevents the fleet being managed effectively from one place.
Our telemetry solution, developed specifically for public transport fleets, monitors vehicle fuel consumption, speed, engine status and safety parameters without interruption.
The data collected is analyzed in real time to score operators' driving habits, systematically encouraging safe, economical driving.
Fuel, speed, engine and safety data is monitored without interruption.
Operators' driving habits are analyzed in real time.
Operators are scored on the analysis results, encouraging safe driving.
Our camera system records the road ahead, the passenger area and the vehicle operator at the same time. AI-supported video analysis detects risks such as seat belt use, phone use and harsh braking instantly, and sends the operator a real-time notification.
Continuous analysis of the road ahead also makes it possible to track sudden changes in road conditions. That keeps both operator and passenger safety at the highest level, creates the chance to intervene before an accident, and automates reporting.
The road ahead, the passenger area and the vehicle operator are recorded at the same time.
Risks such as seat belt use, phone use and harsh braking are detected instantly through video analysis.
When a risk is detected the operator is notified immediately, creating the chance to act before an accident.
All records are stored for use in operator assessment, and reporting becomes automatic.
Smart load management through contactless reading: passenger flow is measured automatically and line and timetable planning is updated dynamically.
The RF-ID system detects passengers boarding and alighting automatically as they pass through the doors. Contactless cards in a passenger's wallet or bag are read without any action on their part, which speeds up boarding and improves the passenger experience. Live load data is sent to the center, so line and timetable planning is updated dynamically.
The passenger flow data collected goes through AI-supported analysis for timing studies, line efficiency assessments and trip optimization. The control center can follow the whole fleet and line performance live, spot low-load trips to prevent wasted resources, and keep raising service quality.
Boarding and alighting passengers are counted automatically by RF-ID at the doors, with no manual intervention.
Cards in a passenger's wallet or bag are read without being taken out, making boarding fast and easy.
Live passenger data keeps line load factors visible and optimizes timing and capacity planning.
Detailed reports by line and by trip support efficiency analysis and make underperforming routes easy to spot.
In public transport the route is usually fixed; what gets optimized is not the line itself but how many trips run on it, at what intervals they depart and which vehicle takes which trip. RF-ID and camera-based passenger counting data, telemetry and actual trip times are assessed together to rebuild the timetable.
The three things optimization manages are linked: on the cost side, kilometers per trip, fuel or energy consumption and the empty kilometers between depot and line; on the time side, how regular the departure intervals are and how long passengers wait at the stop; on the equipment side, the number of vehicles and drivers that must be out in service for the same level of provision.
The timetable treats peak-hour and mid-day demand separately. Low-load trips are reduced while trips are made more frequent in the periods where demand rises, giving a more balanced service from the same number of vehicles.
Passenger counting data by stop and by hour feeds into setting the departure interval, so trips become more frequent where demand rises.
Trips are assigned to vehicle and driver shifts, with shift lengths, mandatory breaks and handover points preserved as constraints.
Depot departures, runs to the line start and return movements are all planned, reducing the kilometers travelled without passengers.
Trip times are measured by hour and by route, so the timetable is built on times actually achieved in the field rather than estimates.
Charging time and charging point for electric vehicles, and refuelling time for diesel vehicles, enter the timetable as constraints, so no vehicle drops out mid-trip.
Part of the cost arises in kilometers that carry no passengers: depot-to-line runs, turnarounds at the line end and trips with very low loading.
When departure intervals are regular, passengers wait less at the stop, and the pattern of bunched trips followed by a long gap disappears.
A regular timetable lets the same level of service be delivered with fewer vehicles, and makes idle vehicles and overloaded vehicles visible at the same time.
Three core systems bring vehicle, stop and line data together on one platform.
Real-time collection of fuel, speed, engine and safety data; scoring of driving habits and encouragement of economical driving.
Recording of the road ahead, the passenger area and the operator; AI risk detection and instant notification.
Automatic detection of boarding and alighting passengers through contactless card reading; optimization of loading and line efficiency.
