Ready for nextGen fleet operations?

4 benefits to consider

Monitor Real-time State of Charge

Vehicle fleets which include e-buses pose completely new challenges for dispatchers.  The vehicles’ charge level must be carefully monitored and decisions made - all in real-time. INIT’s MOBILE-ITCSnextGen (Intermodal Transport Control System) provides real-time state-of-charge, the remaining range, and a forecast for reaching the end of the block. The dispatcher has instant access to the battery status of vehicles through color indicators which display red, yellow or green depending. Alerts are provided for any possible problems. If the state-of-charge falls below a predefined threshold, or as soon as the system predicts that a vehicle will not reach the end of the block, a warning is shown in the status display. Planned charging processes are always taken into account. 

Offer on-demand transport 

In order to provide on-demand services today, most agencies use a paratransit system with a subscription requirement. A future-proof nextGen operations control system should offer on-demand transportation to riders who are non-mobility challenged in order to provide convenient access to the transit system.

INIT’s MOBILE-ITCS nextGen allows agencies to provide on-demand stops that are not a part of the normal route, but are “off the beaten track” and can be activated by a passenger through a website or mobile app. The stop then gets added to the block, and the vehicle serves that stop and continues on its scheduled route. The driver can also activate their own on-demand stops if a passengers needs to be dropped off at a particular point.

Semi-automate passenger information

Passenger satisfaction is directly tied to accurate, timely information about bus schedules and arrival times. However, distributing this information across multiple channels can be time-consuming for dispatchers. RESPONSEassist, an add-on to MOBILE-ITCS nextGen, simplifies this task by enabling dispatchers to share updates across various media platforms with just a few clicks. With real-time updates from MOBILE-ITCS nextGen, passenger information is always current, allowing dispatchers to focus on more critical tasks, such as managing disruptions.

Execute in-field dispatching

Under dynamic conditions, ensuring timely service is the top priority to maintain on-time performance and passenger satisfaction. During major events, accidents, or delays, field supervisors play a crucial role in restoring service on the ground. MOBILE-ITCS nextGen delivers real-time operational and disruption information to field supervisors using MOBILEmodi, an Android tablet. MOBILEmodi provides street supervisors with the same access to relevant operational data as dispatchers in the control center, ensuring a coordinated and effective response to incidents and keeping operations running smoothly.

Future-proof operations

INIT’s MOBILE-ITCS nextGen is more than just a fleet management system; it’s a future-proof solution designed to meet the evolving needs of public transit. With a focus on innovation and scalability, MOBILE-ITCS nextGen helps your agency stay ahead of the curve.
