挑战
The Santa Cruz Metropolitan Transit District faced several challenges with their existing system. The scheduling process was incredibly manual with no automation, making it time-consuming and prone to errors. The agency was using outdated tablets required by their legacy system, which were difficult for drivers to operate. Additionally, the reporting capabilities on the legacy software did not meet the agency's requirements. They needed a mobile app to provide more autonomy and mobility for riders and required a software solution that understood their unique needs in their specific area.
关于客户
Santa Cruz Metropolitan Transit District, along with its ParaCruz service, is a public transportation agency serving the Santa Cruz County area in California, United States. The agency provides a range of transit services, including fixed-route bus services and paratransit services for individuals with disabilities. ParaCruz is a specialized service designed to meet the needs of riders who are unable to use the regular bus service due to physical or cognitive disabilities. The agency is committed to providing safe, reliable, and efficient transportation options to enhance the mobility and independence of its riders. With a focus on customer satisfaction and operational efficiency, the Santa Cruz Metropolitan Transit District continually seeks innovative solutions to improve its services.
解决方案
To address these challenges, the Santa Cruz Metropolitan Transit District implemented several solutions. They introduced new tablets and provided continual in-person and online training options for drivers using Econlane University’s Learning Management System (LMS). This ensured that drivers were well-versed in using the new technology. The agency also adopted the advanced Ecolane Reporting System along with an Ad-hoc reporting tool, which provided easy-to-use and comprehensive reporting capabilities. The Ecolane DRT software was implemented to completely automate scheduling and dispatching, with continuous real-time optimization. Additionally, the Ecolane Touch Screen MDT software, running on Android tablets, offered turn-by-turn navigation using Google Maps traffic for real-time schedule updates. A new advanced mobile app was also introduced, capable of accepting credit card payments, providing a portal for riders to book and manage trips, and sending push notifications in real-time without manual intervention.

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.
