Challenge

To say there are many moving parts in the passenger transportation industry would be an understatement. Each of those parts has a cost profile, one that Public Transportation Operators (PTOs) work to optimize. The cost of moving data among different systems supporting public transit can be substantial.

A third party must convert or manage data transfers
Additional components must be acquired to facilitate data transfers
Data communication equipment requires regular maintenance

Solution

A data capture solution with integrated IP protocols, such ITxPT or VDV-301, can streamline functions of different systems.

In addition to reducing the need for facilitating hardware and software, a robust system with interoperability features can help PTOs:

Reduce time and costs associated with multiple onboard systems
Improve transit network planning by standardizing passenger data
Close service gaps associated with non-standardized data

Benefits

A robust passenger flow management system capable of delivering insights based on accurate real-time, objective data is an indispensable tool for a fast-changing public transportation industry. A sophisticated solution equipped with the most common IP protocols is also essential for:

Lowering data management costs
Bolsters security of confidential data
Reducing operational costs using optimized data transfer protocol
