Volvo to equip 1,400 buses with telematics systems

02 Jul 2008

Volvo Buses has fixed its largest order for the ITS4mobility telematics system to be installed on 1,400 buses in the city of Goiânia in Brazil.

The advanced technological platform supports bus operators' control of bus operations and enables traffic controllers to monitor all of the buses in real-time and to keep constant contact with drivers via text messages. The system alleviates to maintain timetables and makes a quick reaction to disruptions on bus traffic possible.

ITS4mobility displays departure information on electronic boards at bus stops and on the buses combined with audio announcements informing passengers about the next stop.

The system can be used for all types of buses.
