Bus Telematics System Solution

Bus Telematics System

As cities expand and traffic flow surges, many urban areas are promoting strategies for "low-carbon travel and bus priority," leading to an increase in buses, extended routes, and prominent scheduling challenges.

Due to the large passenger volume and the difficulty of supervision, criminal activities are frequent, making buses a potential target for terrorism. Additionally, issues like fare evasion by passengers and fare theft by drivers and conductors also impact management. Ensuring bus safety, improving data collection, and enhancing scheduling efficiency are critical to urban development and citizens' mobility.

BUS Management Challenges

1. Difficulties in Evidence Collection

Disputes, thefts, and fights often occur during bus operations. In the event of traffic accidents, such as collisions or scratches, without surveillance footage, it's impossible to reconstruct the scene or provide effective evidence to supervise drivers and conductors, leaving their rights unprotected.

2. Blind Spots Outside Vehicle Depots

Once buses depart from the depot, operators cannot monitor the vehicle's real-time status. Drivers have more control over operations, while dispatchers are unable to effectively supervise the vehicle's operation.

3. Non-compliant Driving

Some drivers engage in unsafe behaviors like speeding, rapid acceleration, making phone calls, or smoking, which compromises safety.

4. Rigid Vehicle Scheduling

Due to the lack of real-time data, most dispatch scheduling relies on fixed shifts, making it difficult to optimize operations based on actual demand.

5. Lack of Real-Time Location Intelligence Applications

Some buses don't have automatic station announcements, and drivers may forget to announce stops, leaving passengers unaware of the bus's location and estimated arrival time.

6. Inefficient Operations Management

Manual operations for information alerts can lead to errors and increased workload for drivers. Inspection staff must perform regular checks, adding to operational costs. Extensive manual data entry also wastes labor and paper.

YUWEI Bus Telematics System

By installing the YUWEI intelligent on-board terminal suite (MDVR, AI Dash Cam, GPS locator, IVMS platform) on buses, and combining 4G data transmission with a back-end scheduling and monitoring platform, the above challenges can be addressed effectively.

The on-board terminal includes:

- On-board monitoring system: DVR host, cameras, LCD display, microphone, alarm system, status display panel, storage box.

- On-board dispatch system: Intelligent dispatch screen, passenger counting device, speakers, card readers, dispatch intercom, LED information display.

These devices collectively upload data for centralized management, which helps generate operational reports.

The dispatch platform connects with the on-board terminals via wireless networks, supporting audio-video surveillance, GPS tracking, route management, scheduling, voice communication, alarm handling, and report generation, including maintenance management.

Bus Telematics System Features

1. Full Monitoring

Real-time monitoring of vehicle video, audio, and location, using GPS to track vehicle status. Historical routes can be reviewed, and video footage can switch dynamically when the vehicle changes direction.

2. Basic Information Management

Manage information on on-board equipment, vehicles, fuel, personnel, routes, and more.

3. Safety Driving Assistance System

Monitors driver behavior (such as yawning, eye closing, smoking, talking on the phone) and provides forward assistance systems to prevent collisions and lane departures.

4. Vehicle Driving Behavior Detection

Detects unsafe driving behaviors such as rapid acceleration, harsh braking, and sharp turns, ensuring safety.

5. Passenger Count Statistics

AI-based passenger counting devices collect real-time data on passenger boarding and alighting, supporting operational decision-making.

6. IC Card Machine Data Upload

Real-time upload of IC card machine data to monitor revenue.

7. Emergency Alarm Function

One-click alarm functionality, automatically uploading alarm information to the monitoring center, with real-time display of images and vehicle location.

8. On-board Fireproof Storage Box

Data is safely stored in a fireproof box, ensuring complete data preservation even in case of fire or other emergencies.

9. Automatic Data Download and Backup

When a vehicle enters the depot, video footage is automatically downloaded and backed up via Wi-Fi.

10. Route and Station Management

 Includes automatic voice station announcements, dispatching, route deviation alerts, and speed limit management.

11. Dispatch Management

 Supports voice communication, on-board and external speaker broadcasts, real-time dispatch instructions, and information dissemination.

12. Operational Analysis Reports

 Generates operational reports in Excel format with chart displays for easier decision-making.

By combining intelligent terminals and the dispatch platform, the YUWEI Bus Telematics System effectively addresses operational pain points, enhances safety, improves management efficiency, and promotes the healthy development of the public transportation industry.
