Intelligent Transport Systems for Light Rail & Tram
Powerful control systems deliver vision, information and control in a single integrated solution.
Improve Customer Experience
Technology that was once cutting-edge is now expected, and customers demand on-time services, priority transport, information and a safe and smooth journey from transport providers.
An integrated Intelligent Transport System (ITS) inclusive of Automated Vehicle Management (AVM) provides operators with an end to end, integrated solution, connecting your operation control to your drivers and your services with your passengers, in real-time.
The ITS solution provides light rail and tram operators with the opportunity to manage headways and implement traffic light priority to enhance on-time performance during peak periods. The solution also assists with identifying real-time operational issues and with customer experience outputs, providing that information to passengers, enabling better decision-making for efficient use of the network. Take this one step further and passengers can be notified of upcoming transfer points and their departure times, making the trip even smoother for your customers.

Solve Network Challenges in Real Time
Automated Vehicle Location & Control (AVLC) provides accurate vehicle tracking to generate a real-time operational view for effective fleet management and on-time performance. Graphical representations show late trips and congested or blocked lines. Real-time passenger information (RTPI) and signage keeps commuters informed in real time.
Tracking systems cannot operate in isolation and the advent of 4G and VOIP has changed the Command and Control paradigm forever. When combined with text and voice communications, controllers can effectively intervene to make networks operational. Staying relevant is critical, and the right AVLC is the way to do this.

The Trapeze Intelligent Transport System (ITS)
Running many of the world’s largest systems in cities including London, Singapore, Zurich and Riyadh, Trapeze ITS is a complete real-time management solution built to make light rail and tram transport control effective and powerful.

Real-time Control
Improve on-time performance with a real-time vehicle view using GUI, maps and route diagrams. Manage planned and spontaneous path dispatch functions and communicate consistent system-wide passenger information and predictions for supplied dispatch paths.

Incident Decision Support
Allow operators to develop checklists and workflows to minimise the impact of major incidents. Deliver proven responses to disruptions to take prompt action, sending passengers timely and valid information.

Traffic Signal Priority
Improve on-time running with GPS-based traffic signal priority including advanced trigger points. Eliminate manual intervention and reduce human error through a fully automated system. Interface seamlessly with most modern traffic signal controllers.

Smart Operations
Leverage support and viable metrics for timetable or headway-operated routes for turn-up-and-ride services. Rely on built-in connection protection across modes, and quickly identify issues with built-in Business Intelligence support for advanced reporting and data analysis.
How Trapeze ITS Solves Stakeholder Challenges
See how Trapeze ITS solves challenges for rail stakeholders organisation-wide.
Passengers
Improve passenger experience by providing accurate, real-time journey information through signage on and off the vehicle to help passengers plan and complete trips.

Dispatch Centres
Provide real-time visibility and communication across the network to react to incidents and activate diversions or alternate running, improving on-time performance.

Executive Management
Leverage performance metrics to drive better utilisation of assets and infrastructure. Deliver on-time performance and provide a powerful platform to introduce new services across the city.

CX Managers
Improve customer satisfaction with innovations including headway, shorter trip times, real-time trip information and current updates, both on and off the vehicle.

Transport Authorities
Drive network-wide improvements with unambiguous performance metrics; open up potential for true multimodal connectivity.

Transport Operators
Generate greater options for efficient fleet operations through increased visibility and communications, while working with tools that let you act quickly when changes arise.
