AVM case studies for Public Transport: innovative applications in Italy Marino Mazzon, Commercial Manager Thetis S.p.A., Venice, Italy www.thetis.it BITS, Bridging the European ITS Business Co-operation with China Shanghai, 3-5 March, 2003

Summary: 

Summary The Venice experience: a multi-user system The Rome experience: a scalable system associated to the payment scheme The Milan experience: a waste collection management system case studies:

systems supplied by Thetis, using Transmodel: 

systems supplied by Thetis, using Transmodel Rome, Jubilee Lines 110 buses Rome, East Lines 132 buses Rome, West Lines 132 buses Rome, South Lines 130 buses Vicenza, extra-urban buses 230 buses Parma, urban buses 170 buses Milan, waste collection trucks 600 trucks

case study one: Orion,to manage transport in Venice: 

case study one: Orion, to manage transport in Venice features: multiuser architecture a service company experience: five years

The “Orion” multiuser system: 

The “Orion” multiuser system the service provider: positioning and fleet management data, turnkey maintenance data: localization, environment, territory In-field communication via radio or GSM, GPRS real time data to users control rooms via ISDN lines The idea is also suited to small size urban areas GPS onboard systems TV cameras Radar, other Territory accessibility Service centre taxi deliveries public transport administration garbage collection emergency Environmental data t r a f f i c users

Effects: 

Effects Municipality sustainability of urban environment better use of the city and its environment Planning, statistics fleet operators improvement of transport efficiency (scheduling, loading, paths...) improvement of services to users Passengers Better perceived service Access to information

The service provider structure: 

The service provider structure VHF Radio (2) UHF Radio (1) differential GPS communications database consoles router major users recording LAN meteo DB server WEB server web radar GPS

60 LED panels in town provide next arrival times

Case study two: fleet management and service quality reporting for the Rome Jubilee and peripheral bus lines(some 500 buses): 

Case study two: fleet management and service quality reporting for the Rome Jubilee and peripheral bus lines (some 500 buses) features: GSM communication Event driven system service quality certification experience: two years

The basis : 

The basis Then an integrated process: Bus service planning Real time GPS Fleet management Change recording Bus log data recording service quality reporting sw invoicing Experience: some 500 buses in Rome Bus operator companies are now paid per km of service performed and documented automatically. Excess delay causes penalty per km.

The system: 

The system LAN Server Server WS WS authority router WLAN telecom buses stops CDN line . . . . data files GSM/SMS . . . . depot (GPRS) router

objectives: 

objectives Real time fleet management Passenger information: onboard: automatic visual and audio announcements at the stops: automatic messages, next arrival time Periodical automatic reporting on service quality (actual versus planned), for invoicing purposes

Arrival time messages at 125 stops are updated via GSM : 

Arrival time messages at 125 stops are updated via GSM

Case study three: waste collection in Milan (some 650 trucks): 

Case study three: waste collection in Milan (some 650 trucks) features: GPRS communication Event driven system optimization of post-service street maintenance experience: two years

Slide15: 

GPRS data, voice GPRS Front end History data (XML compressed files): Localisation, dead reckoning Vehicle parameters, alarms Service data (begin/end, where, when, ..) Operators’ data (badge) Findouts log (driver entered events) Service, actual RDBM server GIS, map matching, service reconstr. The PATH system: improving service performance Service, planning comparison Onboard systems for 600 vehicles (HTTP clients) GPS HP Netserver SUN Solaris Enterprise 420R

The onboard system: 

The onboard system Removable part: Integrated PC/driver terminal. Can be mounted on any vehicle: self reconfiguration. Can be quickly substituted to grant system availability. Fixed part: Vehicle identification device. Antennas, cables.

A possibility: urban integrated management of transport service : 

A possibility: urban integrated management of transport service A city is a unique “system” the central administration can be willing to optimise transport services to: Reduce expenses reducing wasted km Reduce environmental impact Hence, a centralised service centre and an open, scalable architecture. Services: Public transport Garbage collection Freight services Emergency services
