Public Transport Management - Boodskap

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
  • Public transport management using IoT technology revolutionizes how cities monitor and optimize public transportation systems. By leveraging IoT-enabled devices and sensors, municipalities can achieve real-time visibility and control over public transport vehicles, schedules, and routes. This advanced approach enhances operational efficiency, reduces wait times, and improves the overall commuting experience for residents. Boodskap's IoT Platform as a Service (PaaS) offers comprehensive solutions for public transport management, integrating various sensors and devices to deliver actionable insights and predictive analytics.
  • How Boodskap is Used
  • Boodskap’s IoT platform enables city planners and public transport authorities to collect, analyze, and act on data from various IoT sensors. The platform’s robust data analytics and visualization tools provide real-time monitoring of vehicle locations, passenger counts, and route conditions, enabling informed decisions to optimize schedules and routes.
  • Devices and Sensors Used
    Devices:
  • Fleet Management Systems: Centralized systems that manage and monitor public transport vehicles.
  • Passenger Information System: Displays and systems that provide real-time information to passengers about arrivals, departures, and delays.
  • Gateway Devices: Facilitate communication between transport sensors and the central control system.
  • Sensors:
  • GPS Sensors: Track the real-time location of public transport vehicles.
  • Occupancy Sensors:Monitor the number of passengers on vehicles to optimize capacity and comfort.
  • Speed Sensors: Measure the speed of vehicles to ensure safety and adherence to schedules.
  • Environmental Sensors: Monitor weather and road conditions that may impact transport schedules.
  • IoT Protocols Used
  • LoRaWAN: Provides long-range connectivity for stationary sensors and displays.
  • Wi-Fi: Facilitates data transmission in areas with established network infrastructure
  • Cellular: Ensures reliable communication for mobile public transport vehicles.
  • MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport): Lightweight messaging protocol used for real-time data transmission between transport sensors and the IoT platform.
  • Implementation Example
  • A city using Boodskap’s IoT platform installs GPS sensors and occupancy sensors in all public transport vehicles, including buses and trains. Speed sensors monitor vehicle speeds to ensure safety, while environmental sensors track weather and road conditions. Passenger information systems provide real-time updates to commuters at bus stops and train stations. All collected data is transmitted to the Boodskap platform via cellular and LoRaWAN. The platform analyzes the data, providing insights into vehicle locations, passenger counts, and route conditions. City planners and public transport authorities can view these insights on a dashboard, enabling them to make timely decisions on schedule adjustments and route optimizations. This leads to enhanced operational efficiency, reduced wait times, and improved commuter experiences.
