Transit Bus Tracking and Management Solution

Transit Bus Tracking and Management Solution

Public transportation is the backbone of urban mobility, connecting communities and serving millions of daily commuters. Ensuring the safety of passengers and drivers while optimizing operational efficiency is a core requirement for transit authorities. Modern onboard camera systems integrated with GPS technology have become key tools to overcome bus management challenges and enhance fleet operations.

Core Challenges in Transit Bus Management

Modern bus operations face multidimensional management challenges, including:

1. Real-time Monitoring and Dispatching:

Vehicles need to be accurately located and tracked, with the flexibility to adjust routes and schedules. Monitoring of the bus interior and entry/exit points is also required.

2. Safety Risk Prevention:

Risk mitigation must address driver fatigue, phone use, speeding, and other unsafe behaviors, while also managing blind spots during starting, turning, and reversing.

3. Operational Efficiency and Service:

Accurate passenger flow statistics, timely arrival notifications, and real-time display of stop and service information are essential.

4. Emergency Response and Data Management:

Support for emergency alarms, voice intercom, and secure video storage is critical. Integration with electronic bus stops and advertising systems adds further value.

YUWEI Transit Bus Solution

YUWEI provides a full-scenario bus management solution built around GPS Tracking + Smart Cameras, covering functionalities, hardware, and practical implementation.

(A) Core Functional Modules

1. Location and Tracking Management

①　Real-time GPS Tracking: Accuracy within 1–3 meters, supporting Beidou/GPS dual-mode, with stable positioning even in weak-signal areas like high-rises or tunnels.

②　Route Tracking and Dispatch: Historical trajectory review, route planning, segmented speed limits, and real-time dispatch adjustment.

2. Safety Monitoring and Alerts

①　Driver Behavior Monitoring: DSM (Driver Status Monitoring) detects fatigue, phone use, smoking, distraction, and issues real-time alerts.

②　Driving Safety Assistance: ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance) provides forward collision, lane departure, solid line lane change, and pedestrian collision warnings. BSD (Blind Spot Detection) monitors right-side and reverse blind spots with audio-visual alarms.

③　Nighttime Management: Automatic alarms for driving between 2–5 AM; nighttime speed limited to 80% of daytime speed.

3. Operations and Data Management

①　Video Surveillance: Real-time HD recording and playback, with multi-angle monitoring of the interior, entrances/exits, and blind spots.

②　Statistical Analysis: Automatic reports on mileage, fuel consumption, driving and stop times, with passenger flow statistics.

③　Emergency and Interaction: VOIP intercom, emergency alarms, event snapshots; onboard screens display stop and service information.

4. Data Security and Storage

①　Dual Storage: Local SD card (up to 128GB) + encrypted cloud storage, with dedicated channels to prevent data loss or leakage.

②　Log Management: Automatic recording of vehicle status, risk events, and driver behavior for traceability.

(B) Practical Application Cases

YUWEI solutions are deployed in over 30 countriesand 20 major citiesworldwide, widely used in bus and taxi systems:

(1) Taxis: Over 100,000 smart devices installed.

(2) Bus Projects:

①　Shanxi: 8,000 units

②　Shaanxi: 8,800 units

③　Sichuan: 9,000+ units

④　Jiangsu: 6,000 units

⑤　Chongqing: 15,000+ units

⑥　Other regions: 60,000 units

Core Value of the Solution

1. Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement

①　Fewer Accidents: Blind spot alerts and driver monitoring reduce incidents, lowering maintenance and compensation costs.

②　Expense Savings: Optimized fuel consumption, reduced fraudulent claims, and lower insurance premiums.

③　Efficiency Gains: Real-time dispatch reduces empty mileage; automated reports reduce manual labor.

2. Safety Enhancement

①　Comprehensive Protection: Closed-loop monitoring from driver behavior and blind spots to interior safety.

②　Rapid Traceability: Integration of video and GPS data improves accident or dispute investigation efficiency.

3. Service Optimization

①　Improved Punctuality: Arrival reminders combined with real-time dispatch improve passenger experience.

②　Transparent Management: Visualization of operational data facilitates driver evaluation and route optimization.

Deployment Considerations

1. Privacy Compliance: Follow GDPR and local regulations, define video storage periods and access rights, and protect passenger privacy.

2. Cost Planning: Consider initial hardware investment and ongoing data storage/maintenance costs, selecting configurations according to needs.

3. Personnel Adaptation: Communicate system purpose to drivers and passengers to address concerns, and train management staff on backend operation.

The YUWEI transit bus solution, through deep integration of GPS + Smart Cameras, addresses key pain points in bus management: positioning, safety, and operational efficiency. Its mature hardware and rich functional modules have been validated through large-scale deployment, enhancing operational safety while reducing long-term costs.
