Passenger Information System/Transit Management System
As part of NEC’s Public Safety solutions, the NEC Transit Management System (TMS) and Passenger Information Systems (PIS) provide Transit Agencies and Public Transport Operators with effective, data-powered tools for fleet and vehicle planning, performance measurement, fleet location monitoring with the aim to streamline operations and improve services to commuters and passengers.
The real-time, multi-users environment incorporates several modular solutions:
• Service performance and planning
On-time performance, service regularity and predictability can all be improved by monitoring adherence to vehicle route and the schedule, adherence to predicted ETAs and the monitoring of wait times.
• Incident Management
Provides incident visibility and management to enable an overall assessment of how a fleet is performing, utilising voice and data messaging.
• Data collection and Analysis
TMS systems create a large amount of real-time data over short time periods, which requires analysis and interpretation. NEC provides tools for data analysis to support performance and passenger patronage reporting.
NEC Passenger Information System and Transit Management System at a glance
Passengers and riders are at the core of the service management platform that is designed to be focussed centrally on customer experience.
Passenger Information System (PIS)
NEC’s real-time “prediction engine” uses multi-dimensional statistics and correlations which, by monitoring vehicle location, route, route progress and routing deviations, provides onboard passengers with accurate ETAs to their destination and accurate ETAs for passengers waiting for the arrival of their transport.
Onboard Visual and Audio Annunciation (AVAS)
Multi-lingual audio and text announcements and information onboard the vehicle, linked to the vehicle’s route. By monitoring variables such as vehicle route, speed, distance to travel and any expected deviations, the progress of the vehicle is communicated to the travellers for every stop on the route.
Data Analysis and Real Time Management
Monitoring progress in real time, against predicted route, taking into account any deviations, to monitoring over several defined performance variables such as wait times.
Business Intelligence (BI)
BI and visualisation tools, dashboards and reporting using centralised data with decision support tools for ongoing improvement in services and lowering of operational costs.
Transport Management Systems value added solutions
NEC can provide several additional and valuable extensions and systems to TMS that provide additional benefits. These include:
- Eco-drive sensors and telematics that monitor and analyse driving behaviours such as speeding, rapid acceleration/deceleration and sudden lane changes. These sensors are linked to provide visual clues and alerts to drivers and data is collated by a centralised tracking and reporting system.
- Analytics to identify high-risk driving behaviours for proactive mitigation of risks and enhanced passenger safety.
- Analysis of vehicle bunching and gapping to assist maintaining regular spacing to reduce wait times and to increase ETA predictability.
