Faster analytics has become necessary in smart city solutions. In transportation, it can be used to ensure punctuality and the right frequency.
Data-driven decision-making is revolutionizing all aspects of
a smart city. Transportation is one of the areas where faster analytics, a
cornerstone of data-driven decision-making, is making a mark. NEC
India has developed an intelligent transport management system that
makes use of faster analytics for transport management.
In transportation, there are several parameters that can be
counted as vital for ensuring the convenience of the public. Punctuality and
frequency are the aspects considered most important in any transport utility.
The intelligent transport management system uses faster
analytics to make public transport utilities more competitive.
There are various subsystems that provide essential data like location and
ridership to the authorities to help them manage transport in a better way.
Automatic vehicle locating system or AVLS is a technology
that uses GPS to track the vehicle's movements in real time. A transport
utility operator can also establish two-way communication with the vehicles
using a stable and secure VoIP communication system.
AVLS can help in achieving punctuality of the transport
utility and also provide information about the exact arrival times of the
transport vehicles. Automated fare collection (AFCS) and vehicle planning
scheduling and dispatch (VPSD) are other subsystems that can help a transport
utility achieve the appropriate frequency.
AFCS provides an accurate
measure of the ridership of a transport utility, helping it to allocate resources
appropriately. VPSD is a subsystem that helps a transport utility optimize the
schedule according to the resources. The Depot Management System (DMS) helps
the utility automate roster preparation, making it error-free.
ITMS can also help a transport utility gather data like
violations to ensure a better passenger experience. Ahmedabad has incorporated
the ITMS successfully for the Bus Rapid Transit. With the help of ITMS, it has
been able to provide world-class services to passengers.
