Earlier this month, Avego implemented a real-time passenger information (RTPI) pilot of Futurefleet in Mysore, India.
The Futurefleet RTPI pilot program is designed to provide public transit authorities and passenger transportation operators with a fully operational RTPI system on one of their busiest routes, with automatic vehicle location (AVL) and advanced management reporting capabilities.
The Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC), which operates more than 15,000 buses in India, invited Avego to demonstrate the benefits of RTPI on a test route between Mysore’s City Bus Stand and the world famous religious landmark – Chamundi Hills. KSRTC intends to initially introduce an RTPI system for 250 buses and 80 bus stops in Mysore, and then to expand the system to 8 other cities in India.
Avego’s 3-day set-up procedure ensured that KSRTC and their customers could quickly and easily experience the full benefits of a robust real-time passenger information system. Now, for the first time in India, passengers are provided with real-time departure and arrival times via bus terminal departure boards, as well as more regular bus service intervals due to Futurefleet’s schedule adherence notifications for drivers.
