Using Technology Solutions in a changing transportation world
Transit will continue to be an integral part of our communities, higher education, and workplaces. As Georgia begins cautiously reopening, using technology to help manage this process will be even more impactful than ever before. Our GPS technology vendor has developed several solutions and innovations that will help navigate through the new regulations & practices.
Contact Tracing
Using passenger identification cards to allow access and identify riders, we can now add a ‘Contact Tracing’ module that includes specific reports and search functionality for quick access to rider identity and passengers who may have been on board during the same period as a flagged individual.
Real Time Passenger Load Visibility
Changing rules on vehicle capacity makes the number of passengers on board an important real time statistic. With GPS real time tracking and Automated Passenger Counting our customers can set the bus capacity in the system and report passengers loads in real time on our GPS app. This information can be shared with other mobile apps and can alert operations/dispatch. Additionally, our vendor’s SmartSense integrated LED solution can be configured to display the passenger load status to riders.
