Improving Bus Operator Efficiency
Mobexx has launched a fully integrated computer-aided despatch and automatic vehicle location for bus and coach operators. 
The Mentor Streets system provides a one box real-time vehicle information and communication solution, allowing operators to improve on-time service, be more responsive to customers and reduce fuel costs with efficient routing.
The fully integrated intelligent transport system (ITS) includes vehicle location software that allows dispatchers to track buses in real-time on colour-coded, customisable maps. This ensures that everyone in the operations office is aware of actual vehicle and driver activity in relation to planned routes and schedules. In addition, the system allows instant responses to any incident that may occur, such as a vehicle breakdown, traffic jam or road traffic accident.
The system can be used with existing in-vehicle peripherals and back-end transit software and its modular structure makes customisation simple. For companies requiring new on-board computers to use with the system, Mobexx offers the Mentor Ranger in-cab PC. This rugged and compact in-vehicle computer is fully optimised for use with the Streets system and provides voice and data communications, automatic vehicle location and vehicle telemetry in a fully integrated single powerful platform.
When used in conjunction with Mentor's Streets Schedule the operators have total control over the planning of routes with allocation of resource and tight cost control.
Mentor Streets could revolutionise the way UK bus and coach operators run their businesses. This solution has been developed specifically for improving public transport operations and has been already hailed a great success in North America. UK organisations can now benefit from this cost-effective, ground breaking system that will dramatically improve their bus and coach operations, raising their customer service levels to new heights
