Embark on a Pleasant Journey: A New Era in Public Transportation
Stockholm is home to Northern Europe's largest urban rail network. With over 1,600 buses, Transdev Sverige AB aims to synchronize bus services with rail networks for seamless urban mobility.
As the demand for real-time data surged, Transdev Sverige AB faced challenges with their existing infrastructure's scalability. To address this, Transdev collaborated with Moxa to implement a robust data acquisition and processing system on their buses. By integrating Moxa’s industrial computer with GHOST Labs' IIoT platform, Transdev achieved reliable and secure data handling, allowing them to monitor and analyze onboard information in real-time.
This technological enhancement has significantly improved the passenger experience, operational efficiency of Stockholm's public transit network and contributing to a greener urban mobility solution.
Summary
Challenges
- Data Overload: Transdev's existing infrastructure was unable to efficiently process the increasing volume of real-time data from buses.
- Scalability Issues: The previous data management solution could not scale to handle the growing amount of data, necessitating an upgrade to a more robust infrastructure.
Solutions
- Advanced Onboard Computers: Transdev partnered with Moxa to deploy Moxa’s industrial computers, designed for embedded data acquisition, to handle complex communication requirements on buses.
- Integrated Data Management: By integrating Moxa's computers with GHOST Labs' IIoT platform, Transdev achieved reliable and secure data acquisition, processing, and analysis, enabling real-time monitoring and decision-making.
Results
- Improved Customer Experience: The implementation of real-time data capture has significantly enhanced the passenger experience, making public transport more appealing and reliable.
- The Greening of Public Transportation: The new system has improved fuel efficiency and reduced the carbon footprint by optimizing bus dispatch according to passenger needs, aligning with Transdev's vision of a greener public transportation network.
