What to Expect in Your Next Fleet Operations System

Key Features to Look For

When you are ready to upgrade to a new fleet management and operations control system, it’s important to think about what functionalities are right for your agency—not just for today, but for the future. The evolving nature of technology and shifting passenger expectations require systems that are flexible and can grow with you. INIT's cloud-native Intermodal Transport Control System, MOBILE-ITCS nextGen checks all the boxes.

Real-Time State of Charge (SOC) Monitoring for Electric Vehicles
Transitioning to an electric fleet brings its own set of challenges, such as range predictability and charging times. MOBILE-ITCS nextGen includes advanced SOC management tools that provide real-time charge-level alerts and remaining range intelligence. It also features color-coded charge indicators on the dispatcher’s display, charging forecasts, and seamless integration with yard and charge management systems. This visibility enables early identification of low-charge vehicles, helping yard management and maintenance teams prepare to ensure efficient, uninterrupted electric fleet operations.

Flexible System Architecture
Today’s technologies require flexible architecture for system updates and future scalability. MOBILE-ITCS nextGen supports both on-premises and cloud-native deployments. Intelligent diagnostic tools analyze the system, making the detection and correction of errors faster and more efficient. Updates can be applied immediately, minimizing unwanted downtime for software updates and ensuring the system remains secure and up-to-date.

Seamless On-Demand Transport Options
On-demand transit is no longer just for paratransit services; it's become an essential solution for flexible transportation. A next-generation system should support on-demand transportation for all passengers, bridging first-mile/last-mile gaps. MOBILE-FLEX uses AI-Powered Optimizations to calculate efficient journeys and ridepooling opportunities on the fly.  This means fewer empty seats and less fuel consumed. Passengers can request on-demand stops outside of the regular route via an app or website. These stops are seamlessly integrated into the driver’s schedule, ensuring that the bus stays on track after serving the request. Drivers also have the ability to activate specific stops directly, adding flexibility to operations.

Semi-Automated Real-Time 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.

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.

MOBILE-ITCS nextGen: A Future-Proof Solution
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.
