It’s fully web-based and enables any transit agency to immediately get accurate real-time data and CAD/AVL functionality.

HAFAS Smart VMS quality assures collected data and verifies it against available schedules and routes.

Navigating Auxiliary Services with HAFAS Smart VMS

The navigation feature is indispensable for drivers – especially those in charge of replacement services and those who might not know the route. If, for instance, a certain track section needs to be closed and buses will be compensating for the cancelled trains, bus drivers often face a number of obstacles due to the ever-changing construction sites that complicate their routes. To facilitate driving, especially in large cities like Paris, the HAFAS Smart VMS navigation feature enables dispatchers to easily predefine routes along the stopping points. Even traffic data can be made available via the driver app.

If an auxiliary service like a replacement bus needs to be added, the dispatcher can easily define its route and stops along the way. Once the tour has been saved, the corresponding route and predefined stopping points are clearly visualized on the OSM-based map along the red line. The dispatcher can use drag and drop to change the route. The predefined route is transmitted to the mobile client. As soon as the driver signs on to the corresponding run, the navigation view appears on the display, making the ride much more comfortable.
