How intelligent transport management system can help in up-scaling public transport

The sub-systems of the intelligent transport system ensure seamless interchanges for commuters, thereby up-scaling public transport.

  

Transport infrastructure in metro cities suffers from several shortcomings. In order to upscale public transport, they need to ensure a seamless interchange for passengers. But, NEC India’s intelligent transport management system can address some of the major shortcomings.  

 

Ahmedabad has witnessed a positive change in the way passengers use public transport because of intelligent transport management system. Automated Fare Collection System, a sub-system of ITMS ensures that the passenger can use a smart card for paying their fares on multiple modes of transport. 

 



AFCS reduces the hassles passengers face when they want to interchange. Public transport is an attractive option for commuters because of this seamlessness. AFCS can be used to offer passengers hassle-free transit from one mode of transport to another mode of transport. 

 

Passenger Information System (PIS) is another sub-system required to make public transport an attractive option among commuters. It uses an automatic vehicle location system to provide real-time information about the expected arrival time of buses. 

 

Since AVLS uses GPS technology to gather data about the location of buses, it is quite accurate and dependable. AVLS also allows the drivers of public transport to have two-way communication with the integrated command and control center. The VoIP technology ensures stable two-way communication and speedy handling of incidents.  

 

Public transport has a huge inventory to manage. To ensure that the buses remain in shape, a maintenance schedule needs to be followed. A depot management system can help automate the scheduled maintenance. 

 

ITMS can also help in the future planning of the transport utility. Frequencies of public transport can be reduced or increased with the help of data collected on daily ridership.
