Llew Jones Coaches upgrades to Centrad CCTV telematics system

Llew Jones Coaches upgrades to Centrad video telematics
SHARE

Llew Jones Coaches has upgraded its existing Centrad vehicle CCTV into a video telematics solution that the supplier says will drive efficiencies and ensure better protection for drivers and passengers at the Llanrwst operator.

A vehicle tracking contract with another provider expired, with Centrad subsequently upgrading the existing CCTV hardware to include live functionality by combining cameras and tracking into one solution.

That includes real-time viewing, GPS tracking, and video playback and download. Centrad says the combination delivers “an enhanced, cost-effective solution that has allowed Llew Jones Coaches to strengthen its commitment to passenger safety, protect its drivers, and improve accountability on the road.”

The operator can also use Centrad’s live solutions to track the boarding and alighting of each passenger. It gives immediate access to video evidence in the event of incidents. Underpinning the platform is the supplier’s fleet management system, Centrad Live.

Llew Jones Business Manager James Hadley says that stricter safeguarding measures have increased expectations on operators to ensure passengers’ wellbeing “at every stage of their journey, from the moment they set foot on a coach to the moment they step off.”

Access to real-time CCTV footage has been invaluable to the operator, preventing situations where without such evidence, the business may have been unfairly held liable for claims that could potentially have cost tens of thousands of pounds.

Mr Hadley notes that with traditional CCTV recording systems, an incident occurring on a touring coach in Europe could have led to major delays in retrieving the footage, sometimes extending into weeks.

“However, the ability to access footage instantly allows us to expedite the claims process significantly, saving on time, stress and cost.”

He adds that being able to upgrade existing vehicle hardware without needing to remove it all and start again was “a significant draw” to Llew Jones Coaches adding 4G to its camera systems. “Not only are we benefitting from cutting edge technology, but we are actually saving money by adopting it.”

The Centrad platform includes a live health check function. It monitors key performance and condition aspects in real-time. Irregularities are automatically detected and trigger instant notifications.

andy burnham tfgm £15.6 billion (1) The funding announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves today (4 June) has been allocated to several combined mayoral authorities to use on rail, tram, road and bus infrastructure. Transport for Greater Manchester revealed today that part of the £2.5 billion it will receive will go towards making the Bee Network fully battery-electric by 2030. An as-yet undecided portion of that will support a planned investment in 1,000 new zero-emission buses over that period, the mayoral authority said. That is part of plans to build the UK's "first fully integrated, zero-emission public transport system", with trams and trains also set to benefit. Liverpool City Region's already announced BRT system is among the projects to which its £1.6 billion will be allocated. Under those plans - due for realisation by 2028 - a high-speed network will be served by articulated buses which are modelled on the 'Glider' in Belfast. It is due to link Liverpool city centre with John Lennon Airport, and Liverpool FC and Everton FC's respective stadia along three routes. Although the model of bus has not been confirmed, a Van Hool Exqui.City on loan from Belfast was last year used as a demonstrator. That 18m vehicle can accommodate around 30% more passengers than a typical bus and has three sets of double doors. The funding will also go towards buses elsewhere in the city as the region heads towards franchising services by 2027. Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram with a 'Glider' which was on loan from Belfast last year - an example of the sort of bus which could serve the new BRT Bus services in the East Midlands region will be boosted by the funding, thanks to the £2 billion handed to it today by the government. Some of that allocation will be used for a rapid transit network on the Trent Arc between Nottingham and Derby. Between the two cities, the Freeport, Infinity Park Investment Zone and Ratcliffe-on-Soar will also benefit from the improved bus services. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority's newly announced commitment towards bus franchising has been boosted by £350 million in funding as part of that region's allocation. The funding for West Yorkshire will help build new bus stations in Bradford and Wakefield. Likewise, the Tees Valley Mayoral Authority will put its sum towards a new £15 million bus station in Middlesbrough. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander says: "Today marks a watershed moment on our journey to improving transport across the North and Midlands – opening up access to jobs, growing the economy and driving up quality of life as we deliver our Plan for Change. "For too long, people in the North and Midlands have been locked out of the investment they deserve. With £15.6bn of government investment, we’re giving local leaders the means to drive cities, towns and communities forward, investing in Britain’s renewal so you and your family are better off."
