Turn data into intelligence and offer a reliable service that passengers can trust

Discover how to leverage vehicle data to extend your buses’ life cycle, save costs, and improve operational efficiency.

Watch a conversation between industry experts to find out how public transport operators can leverage data to solve their maintenance challenges and lower the whole life cost of their main asset – vehicles.

Paul, Steve and João discussed how vehicle data can be collected, analysed, and turned into a source of information that enables operators to increase the reliability of their buses, avoid compliance fines, and improve their bottom line.

The panel addressed the need for an integrated approach to managing public transport services, and the benefits of having access to information in real-time, when it’s possible to act on the fault and prevent a service disruption or, worse, a safety issue.

From increasing maintenance productivity by automating repetitive tasks to extending the life cycle of critical components, this webinar covered the fundamentals of the digitisation of public transport operations, data-driven maintenance, and AI.

  • Explore new angles to address the challenges facing public transport operators, moving from a reactive to a predictive, data-driven approach
  • Find out more about the value of creating an integrated, data-centric ecosystem to increase operational efficiency and save costs
  • Discuss how to reduce the whole lifetime cost of buses by extending the life cycle of components, anticipating wear and tear, and optimising planned downtime
  • Address the compliance requirements PTOs must take into account when devising their maintenance strategy
