挑战
Blacksburg Transit (BT) faced the challenge of improving customer experience, planning, and service efficiency. With a dynamic ridership primarily composed of university-affiliated individuals aged 18 to 24, BT needed to adapt to frequently changing locations and schedules. Traditional transit databases were insufficient for providing the granular data required to make informed decisions. Additionally, BT aimed to enhance customer service by addressing complaints effectively and providing accurate predicted bus arrival times, which varied daily due to changing class schedules and mini rush hours.
关于客户
Blacksburg Transit (BT) is a public transportation provider serving the town of Blacksburg, including Virginia Tech. BT offers a variety of services, including fixed routes, paratransit, commuter services, deviated fixed routes, demand response, and a service for seniors. With a fleet of 69 vehicles and 200 employees, BT caters primarily to university-affiliated individuals aged 18 to 24. The agency collects 11,000 data points per day to analyze and improve its services. BT has been a long-time partner of TripSpark, utilizing their fixed route software and mobile data terminals to enhance operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.
解决方案
BT adopted TripSpark’s fixed route software, Streets, and mobile data terminals (MDTs) to gain complete access to their data and develop custom reports. This allowed BT to collect and analyze 11,000 data points daily, providing insights into fare types, schedule adherence, passenger loads, and trends. The data enabled BT to make short-term adjustments, such as changing headways and consolidating stops, and informed long-term strategic decisions about new routes and service levels. Additionally, BT invested in a passenger information system, including a texting service and real-time bus map, to provide accurate predicted bus arrival times and improve customer service. The system allowed BT to make schedule changes without reprinting and offered riders the convenience of receiving route and time information via text.

Case Study
Turning A Stadium Into A Smart Building
Honeywell created what it called the “intelligent system” for the National Stadium in Beijing, China, turning the venue for the opening and closing events at the 2008 Summer Olympics into a “smart building.” Designed by highly controversial artist Ai Weiwei, the “Bird’s Nest” remains one of the most impressive feats of stadium architecture in the world. The 250,000 square meter structure housed more than 100,000 athletes and spectators at a time. To accommodate such capacity, China turned to Honeywell’s EBI Integrated Building Management System to create an integrated “intelligent system” for improved building security, safety and energy efficiency.

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

Buoy Status Monitoring with LoRa
The Netherlands are well-known for their inland waterways, canals, sluices and of course port activities. The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure indicates that there are thousands of buoys and fixed items in and near water environments that would profit from IoT monitoring. One of the problems with buoys for example, is that they get hit by ships and the anchor cable breaks. Without connectivity, it takes quite some time to find out that something has happened with that buoy. Not to mention the costs of renting a boat to go to the buoy to fix it. Another important issue, is that there is no real-time monitoring of the buoys at this moment. Only by physically visiting the object on the water, one gains insight in its status.
