Riders can be informed about changes in service, delays and information regarding safety and route changes.
SmartBus Predictor
The SmartBus approach to prediction is unique in that it is based on actual vehicle locations and a proprietary mathematical model that takes into account historical travel times under a variety of conditions. It is not based on deviations from schedule. The result of this architectural approach is a stream of predictions that are amazingly accurate, given the stochastic nature of operating a fleet of vehicles in varied environments. The system displays public arrival predictions with a one-minute resolution.
