City bus operation
Every day, billions of people around the world commute by public transport. Inconvenient and unsafe transport can make the start of the day unpleasant. For commuters. To public transport buses that tirelessly serve passengers all day and in all weather conditions. For bus drivers, keeping the journey safe and efficient is a top priority.
Chainway is committed to providing high performance smart terminals and customized solutions for customers from all industries. In public transport, its latest V600 vehicle-mounted computer helps fleet managers improve fleet management, drivers monitor driving behaviour and passengers receive safe and punctual service.
Identity verification
When a driver begins his or her duties today, the V600 vehicle-mounted computer touches his or her ID card, scans his or her fingerprints or recognizes his or her face to verify identity. The back-end server notes these actions and starts counting the driver’s working hours. Administrators have access to each driver’s work schedule and workload, a direct indicator of each employee’s performance.
OBD Monitoring
The V600 vehicle-mounted computer has an OBD port to connect to the vehicle’s OBD system. It monitors and transmits OBD data, including speed, fuel consumption and RPM, to a back-up server. Unsafe driving, such as rapid acceleration, hard braking or speeding, can be identified and an audible warning is given to the driver. Administrators and drivers can identify unhealthy vehicle conditions earlier and take faster action to minimize the impact on the community. Remote diagnostics keep transit buses on the road.
Video transmissions
The V600 can be connected to multiple external cameras. Along with the V600’s own front-facing camera, fleet administrators can use these cameras to monitor what’s happening on the bus and on the road to detect suspicious behavior by drivers or passengers and spot any hidden risks that may be present during the trip. The V600 sends these video images to the backend server for real-time monitoring and further analysis, and stores these videos itself for a set period of time to serve as evidence in case of incidents.
High-resolution GPS tracking
The Chainway V600 vehicle-mounted computer is equipped with an accurate GPS system that provides detailed positioning of the bus. It sends this to the backend server so that administrators can see the fleet’s movements. They can also set up geo-fencing to ensure that the bus is travelling to locations where their services are allowed. If an accident occurs on the planned route, the V600 will suggest an alternative route and navigate the driver.
Check tickets
For intercity bus services, a passenger with a monthly pass embedded with an RFID chip can tap the ticket on the V600’s RFID reader area. The V600 can also be connected to a Bluetooth barcode reader for one-way ticket verification, which prints a 1D or 2D barcode for authentication.
Emergency solution
If a problem or accident occurs, drivers can send an SOS message by pressing the emergency button. Administrators can see this message in real time on the backend server so that immediate action can be taken.
Value added service
The Chainway V600 vehicle-mounted computer offers fleet administrators innovative and reliable new capabilities to improve their service. The V600 can serve as a Wi-Fi hotspot for passengers requiring Internet access. Expansion capabilities allow the V600 to connect to an LED screen showing the next stop and region-based advertising.
The V600 vehicle-mounted computer with telematics offers great potential for optimising public transport systems. It helps transport agencies achieve new levels of efficiency, control and compliance.
V600 Introduction
Based on Android, the Chainway V600 collects driving data using a fingerprint reader, HF RFID reader, OBD module, GPS, external camera and other devices, and transmits the data wirelessly to a backend server for real-time monitoring and future analysis.
