Communications Solutions for Public Transport

Working with transport providers and their system integrators, Tait has been supplying mobile radio solutions for more than 40 years. The benefits of working with Tait include:

A clearer picture

From the depot to downtown, from dispatch to the distant suburbs, voice and data cross-city coverage is assured. Tait offers a spectrum-efficient, affordable radio solution with a world-leading location update rate. This gives a more precise picture of the current fleet deployment.

Enhance customer service

With an accurate picture of the fleet, real-time passenger information can easily be provided. This can be delivered to the customer in a number of different ways including bus stop signage. Tait provides wireless solutions that can help both to update and clear-down these signs effectively. Customer service can also be enhanced by traffic light pre-emption which delivers better bus speeds and reduces bunching.

Respond to the environmental challenge

Public transport is at the heart of most cities’ environmental planning. Dynamic fleet management based on real time location, speed, passenger numbers and fuel consumption data can have a dramatic impact on carbon emissions. Tait radios are designed to be energy efficient.

Agile co-ordination of large fleets

Real time data such as passenger counts allow dispatch to assign more buses as existing capacity fills or to predict an end-of-day rush. If or when things go wrong, real time data allows the operator to quickly pinpoint the problem and recover service and fleet performance.

Safer employees reacting to the unexpected

Working with the transport industry, Tait has developed a range of emergency features to give drivers peace of mind. Tait radios have also proven effective when fleets react to severe weather, natural disaster or terrorist incidents.

Integrated transit management

Tait-designed networks easily integrate with other networks and data systems allowing a co-ordinated approach to transport services. For example, a city’s bus fleet can be configured to compensate for an interruption in the light rail service.
