CleverCAD multimodal fleet management: better insight, better service

Manage disruptions in real time

Service disruptions happen, but CleverCad minimises both the work required to react and the impact those interruptions have on your passengers. Disruption management capabilities enable you to make synchronised adjustments for detours, bus bridges, cancellations and delays, and automatically inform your dispatchers and update your passenger predictions, onboard signage and audio announcements.

Improved communications

CleverCAD provides radio control synchronised with your operations. Your dispatchers can connect private or group calls across routes, modes and service types to reduce overall radio traffic while improving direct communications. CleverCAD supports scheduled and geographic text messaging to keep your operators informed of service adjustments and other operational issues.

Industry-leading VoIP integration

CleverCAD is designed to integrate with Celrado, Clever Devices’ cutting-edge IP-based voice solution, to provide a hardened and redundant VoIP environment that can be used either as a replacement for a legacy LMR system, as a standalone solution or as a complement to an existing LMR infrastructure.

Customised incident management

CleverCAD provides a web-based incident platform that is tightly integrated with both the dispatch and mobile platforms to auto-populate and synchronise historical incidents with real-time data. This improves the speed and quality of historical incident information. When CleverCAD is deployed, you can recreate most existing incident forms through an easy to use visual form designer that simplifies system adoption and provides the ability to add forms and fields to improve incident processes.

Increased dispatcher efficiencies

Without a CAD system, dispatchers must spend time asking basic questions at the start of every communication with an operator. Because of the visibility CleverCAD provides, dispatchers immediately know the vehicle, the operator, the location, the planned service and what is taking place. CleverCAD dramatically increases the number of in-service vehicles each dispatcher can manage, reducing costs while improving service reliability.

Mobile route supervision

The CleverCAD mobile app – available on Android or iOS – provides road supervisors with the information they need to manage their fleet efficiently. Easily downloaded onto any laptop, tablet or mobile device, CleverCAD mobile lets supervisors connect calls across routes and vehicle groups to communicate over their handheld radio or locally over a cellular device. With CleverCAD mobile, supervisors always have a complete picture of their entire operation wherever they are on the road.

More efficient pull outs

CleverCAD provides log-on solutions designed to enable your operators to log on faster and more accurately. The system integrates to operator and vehicle assignment systems, or to Clever Devices SmartYard and assignment modules to provide badge swipe and other login workflows, ensuring the correct operator drives the correct vehicle on the correct scheduled assignment.

Ensuring passenger safety

Like many systems, CleverCAD can provide emergency alarm handling and covert monitoring of audio on the vehicle in the event of an emergency. CleverCAD’s differentiator, however, is its speed and audio quality. New tools like remote vehicle shutdown and camera integration provide better visibility and control to dispatchers, mobile supervisors and law enforcement in an emergency.
