Coach and bus surveillance specialist Synectics will be using this year’s Euro Bus Expo to showcase integrations and innovations developed to support the industry in taking a more
‘connected approach to safety, security, and passenger experience’.
‘Connected’ opportunities it will be focusing on include:
Predictive maintenance: Integrating vehicle performance tracking (e.g. CANBus) with user-defined workflows and alerts to rapidly identify pre-fail conditions, automate fault reporting and maintenance dispatch to prevent avoidable breakdowns and service downtime
Route optimisation: Pairing GPS and vehicle-tracking data with GIS mapping and traffic/news updates to match vehicle movements against live congestion issues or road closures for real-time re-routing
Service optimisation: Collating GPS and vehicle-tracking data with information from on-vehicle systems such as passenger-counting solutions, to identify under- or over-served routes for improved service planning.
