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.
