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.
