Session Description
We will explore this topic with two presentations:
Optimizing Public Transport with Vehicle Health Monitoring-
Discover how Vehicle Health Monitoring is transforming public transport operations. This innovative solution provides real-time diagnostics and predictive maintenance insights, ensuring fleet reliability, reducing downtime, and lowering maintenance costs. By leveraging cutting-edge data analytics, transit agencies can enhance safety, optimize asset utilization, and extend vehicle lifespan. In this session, well explore the key benefits, including improved operational efficiency, reduced unplanned breakdowns, and significant ROI potential through proactive fleet management. Learn how this technology supports data-driven decision-making and helps transit operators maximize performance while minimizing costs.
Yard Management-
Efficient depot management is crucial to ensuring smooth operations. This presentation will explore how depot management software (DMS) can significantly enhance operational efficiencies within the garage by providing real-time tracking and automation solutions. The software helps fleet managers easily identify the current location of vehicles, eliminating manual audits. By automating the assignment of buses to work, maintenance, and wash bays, the software streamlines day-to-day tasks and reduces the potential for human error. Additionally, for electric bus fleets, depot management software plays a pivotal role in the efficient charging of vehicles, ensuring optimal energy use and minimizing downtime. Through real-time data insights and automated processes, depot management software provides a comprehensive solution to improve fleet utilization, reduce operational costs, and enhance service delivery.
