Intelligent bus information technology empowers remote control rooms with comprehensive information about the location and status of their fleet, and empowers passengers onboard or at bus stops with real-time updates about bus location and arrival times. In this application, Moxa's embedded computers are used under the hood of intelligent bus information systems.

‧VGA and LVDS dual independent display technology
‧GPS for system mapping and bus location
‧USB Bluetooth for communication between the bus and bus stops
‧Supports security mechanism and audio/video technologies
‧Connect various devices and transfer serial, Ethernet LAN connections
‧Front-end computing and communication

 

 This intelligent bus information system is managed by Moxa's V2101 x86-based Atom powered embedded computer. Since the system is installed in a bus, where space is limited, a palm-sized embedded system is a must. In addition, the system needs to be shock and vibration-resistant to provide reliable live voice and data communication to the remote control center.

The V2101 manages the bus timetable, route, and a GPS time synchronization clock for system mapping and permits the remote control room to locate the bus' location and to display real-time bus information on the bus' stop panels anytime. The V2101 and bus stops are equipped with USB Bluetooth; when the V2101 is within a 10 meter vicinity of a bus stop, it will alert the bus stop as well as the remote control center of its impending arrival. The V2101's DI/DO support allows the doors of the bus to be automated.

 In addition, the V2101 offers both VGA and LVDS displays, making it perfect for industrial digital signage applications; a display for the driver and another for the passenger display. Moxa's V2101 computers' rich interfaces allow the support of audio technology and speakers, security mechanisms to control and record video, and tallying of fares from the ticketing system.
