Live Tracking
Second-by-second positionEvery bus in service reports its GPS position over LTE. Stop arrivals and route deviations are judged automatically from that stream.
BUS INFORMATION SYSTEM
Bus Information System
A Bus Information System (BIS) locates buses in service by GPS and sends arrival times and route details over LTE to stop-side displays and on-board terminals, presented both as text and as voice announcements.
Arrival Prediction
Not just where — whenPosition alone is not an answer. Link travel times and historical running data are combined into a “minutes away” figure, and recalculated whenever conditions change.
Multi-channel
Text and voice togetherThe same information goes out to the stop-side display, the on-board unit and voice announcement at once — whether the passenger reads it or hears it.
Operation Data
Operations you can auditHeadway and route compliance are left behind as data. Missed and delayed runs can be caught during service rather than reconstructed afterwards.
HOW IT WORKS
How do we know where the bus is
What it takes for one coordinate leaving the bus to become “3 min” on the sign at the stop.
Collect
The terminal on the bus reads its own position second by second and sends it to the centre.
Predict
Position, link travel state and historical running data are combined into an expected arrival time.
Inform
The same information is published to the stop, the vehicle and the app simultaneously.
BIT TERMINAL
The unit that stands at the stop
The BIT (Bus Information Terminal) is the only part of the system a passenger actually meets. If it cannot be read, the rest of the system means nothing.
Route number, expected arrival time and current position on a single screen — so someone standing at the stop can decide the moment they look up.
High-brightness LED
High-brightness LEDs keep the display readable in direct sunlight. Route number, expected arrival time and current position sit on one screen.
Text and voice together
Information is announced by voice alongside the display, so passengers who cannot rely on sight still receive it.
A line-up per stop size
SL-BIT-TRI, 3D8Y, 4D12Y and others — the number of display lines and the cabinet size are chosen to match the route count and the stop.
Built for the outdoors
Designed on the assumption of heat, cold, vibration and lightning, with inspection and maintenance after installation handled by the manufacturer directly.
NECESSITY
Why it is needed
POINT 01
Removing the uncertainty from waiting for a bus
POINT 02
Better passenger experience at the stop and on board
POINT 03
Operating data for headway and route management
POINT 04
Voice announcement for passengers with reduced mobility
