Passenger Information SystemReal-time passenger information through GPS

The Passenger Information System uses the Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to determine real-time information (location and time) of the bus & taking into account the current position of the buses, speed & scheduled stops predicts the expected time of arrival of bus at any stop on the selected route. The GPS device determines the position of the bus in terms of latitude and longitude along with the instant time, which is then communicated to a Central Server in real time through a GPRS connection. Based on pre-configured route and the current position of the bus, the time likely to be taken by the bus for reaching subsequent bus stops is calculated. This Expected Time of Arrival (ETA) of buses in minutes is sent to LED Boards, again through GPRS connection. The solution helps the passengers waiting at bus stops in reducing the anxiety of waiting. The internal display board is also capable of displaying advertisement contents as configured from the backend application.

Blute Technologies offers passenger information system to provide users, including staff, commuters, and personnel with real‐time and scheduled transportation information and announcements. This management system is designed to be platform independent allowing it to run on virtually any operating system, such as Windows or Linux. Similarly, PIS is capable of running diverse types of relational database management systems (RDBMS), such as Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, MySQL, etc.
