    Challenge

    Maintenance at passenger transit stations is a question of safety, the top priority for all businesses in the transportation industry. Cost and labor-intensive, infrastructure maintenance involves significant resources that often could be better utilized.

    For property managers and public transportation operators (PTOs) interested in adopting a data-driven approach to issues concerning infrastructure upkeep, common challenges include:  

    • Icon

      Finding a data capture system with a high degree of accuracy

    • Icon

      Deploying a system able to cover highly complex spaces

    • Icon

      Operating a system used by stakeholders with different qualifications

    Solution

    The maintenance demands of different assets within a public transportation business vary widely— from cleaning restrooms or ticketing areas to platform maintenance. But PTOs can significantly reduce uncertainty about when and where use-based upkeep should be performed with a robust data capture solution.

    Such a solution provides PTOs and infrastructure management companies with accurate, historical and real-time data about actual use, information they can use to:

    • Icon

      Optimize allocation of resources associated with maintenance

    • Icon

      Reduce costs by shifting to need-based upkeep, when possible

    • Icon

      Support other maintenance security protocols

    • Icon

      Carry out sanitation maintenance tasks based on actual use

    Benefits

    Automating different processes within an infrastructure maintenance protocol can help limit problems sometimes associated with planning and execution errors. A robust, scalable data capture system provides PTOs with:

    • Icon

      Cross-check data that can be used to improve safety profiles and limit liability

    • Icon

      Anonymized records that can be used to defend maintenance processes

    • Icon

      Alerting capabilities that property managers can use to prevent dangerous situations
