Reducing Your Cost of Ownership using Smart Bus Technologies
Is your data an asset or a liability? • Liabilities: • Cost • Collect • Protect • Process • Back-up • Support • etc. • Knowledge • “You are liable for what you know” • Benefits: • Data is only as useful as the changes it produces • Information enables • Better decision making process • Training and coaching opportunities • Avoiding mistakes (First time quality) • Planning • Going from reactive to proactive • etc.
Making data benefits outweigh liabilities? • Reduce cost of infrastructure • Consider hosted services • Pay-as-you-go • Comprehensive support contracts • Only collect data that you need and that you are ready to act upon. • Adjust your data collection strategies dynamically as your needs change. • Let your current “pains” dictate you data collection and not the other way around. • Identify your KPIs and make them part of your teams’ DNA. • Get the information to the right person at the right time. • Ensure people has access to the information and knows what it means and how to use it. • Automatic reports are easy to get but typically hard to use. • Train an couch your people on a regular basis. • Create sense of ownership for results (accountability).
Time is finite. So, let’s narrow down our talk… Bus performance Operator Performance Bus Health
You entrust your drivers with: • Delivering the service to the riders (on-time performance). • Representing the TA in front of the public (courtesy). • Safety of the passengers and the rest of the public, including his or her own. • The rider’s experience (smooth or rough rides). • Up to 25% of the total cost of ownership of the vehicles. • Etc.
Economic Driving Analysis • Driving Style is a key element for Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) savings. • The system is capable of analyzing various sources of information using our design parameters and knowledge to locate drivers performing in “High Fuel Consumption” areas.

Driver Performance Monitoring • Development opportunity for drivers • Improved communication between drivers, supervisors and planners • Back-up information in case of customer claims • Better understanding of routes and their impact on driving habits • Driver performance measurement enables driver incentive programs • Factual data about road events • Improved Driver Performance • Reduced fuel usage: reduction of GHG emissions, dependency on non-renewable resources • Reduced wear and tear of vehicles: less maintenance required • Less likelihood of accidents and customer claims • Less stressful workday
