THE STORY IN FOUR STEPS

Solve today's problem. Leave room for tomorrow.

Keolis chose a solution that fixed an unreliable radio network and could also do more later.

2022 - A safety problem

An ageing radio network: interference, repeated calls, black spots and driver duress concerns.

2022 - Prove it, then roll it out

A free trial, a 12-bus pilot, then about 170 more buses, planned around the buses, not the other way around.

Today - More than radio

Calls, location, trip and timing information together for the control room, now across bus, ferry and light rail.

Next - What else could it help solve?

More from the system already on the vehicle, if they share information.
