The Cornerstone To Improving Life Cycle Costs.

Reducing Your Cost of Ownershipusing Smart Bus Technologies

Connect

Reducing TCO:Technological (The equipment factor)

• Select the right equipment/tools (Hybrid, CNG, Electric, etc.)• Automate tasks • Fine-tune shifting programs• Improve integration/reduce loses

Process Change (Institutional and human factors)• Improve driver efficiency• Improve maintenance practices (predictive, preventive vs reactive) • Reduce troubleshooting time• Improve decision making process (based on real-time and statistical actual information)• Train, coach, motivate staff• Incentive programs

Is your data an asset or a liability?

Connect

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.

Connect

Making data benefits outweigh liabilities?

- 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).

- 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.

Shall we or shall we not monitor our drivers?

Connect

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.

Demand Engine Torque vs. Vehicle Speed

Connect

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

Bus Health And Performance:

Real-time (Reacting to the inevitable)

• Location awareness• Dial the bus • Access from a vehicle• Read diagnostic codes in real-time• Review recent history leading to event• Get real-time alerts for any event

Analysis and reports (Understanding and preventing the evitable)

• Understanding distribution of problems in the fleet.• Detecting vehicles getting out of the trend. • Reporting and compliance requirements• Tracking/Qualifying improvements and campaigns• Manage by objectives• Preventive vs Reactive Maintenance and Predictive vs Preventive Maintenance.
