Smart Mobility System(SMOC)

PRT (Primary Rapid Transit)

Using IT to Ensure Disciplined Transportation

We provide IT to realize disciplined transportation for areas suffering from chaotic traffic.
For example, optimal dispatch of vehicles according to travel demand, uniform control between vehicles,
and effective use of available resources during off-peak hours.

Services and Products

SMOC is composed of four elements

• User application used by passengers
• Driver application that allows drivers to check their schedules and instructions from the system
• Operator application that allows operation managers to manage the current status of operations and forecasting of operations.
• Server-side functionality to accumulate and analyze data for higher productivity

• User application
  Smartphone application referred to by passengers. Includes the ability to check vehicle location, purchase electronic tickets, and on-demand vehicle dispatch.

• Driver application
  An application for smartphones or tablets that drivers refer to. It includes a vehicle spacing function, a job list and an on-demand vehicle dispatch function.
  The car spacing adjustment function displays on-screen instructions to the driver to speed up, slow down, or maintain speed in order to maintain an approximately equal distance from the vehicles in front of and behind.
  The task list displays a list of the daily schedule, allowing the driver to follow the instructions and perform his/her duties to ensure efficient operation.
  On-demand vehicle dispatch is available outside of regular route operating hours, and can be provided in two forms: one is like a cab, where the driver specifies the boarding and disembarking locations and connects them, and the other is like an hourly vehicle reservation operation (destination is not specified).

• Operator Application
  Application for tablets to be used by operation managers. In addition to the current position of the vehicle, the difference between the current position and the ideal position can be checked. In addition, driver schedules can be generated automatically. In addition, the performance against the generated schedule can be shown in an easy-to-understand manner by displaying the number of points.

• Server-side
  It accumulates data, analyzes the accumulated data, and also stores business logic, such as when generating schedules.
  In schedule generation, the system predicts travel demand based on past boarding records and generates an operation schedule for the following day and beyond (using AI).

Feature
