Optimized Headway-System from Adibus Ensures Smooth Bus Operations

Adibus proudly introduces an advanced headway system that revolutionizes how buses are coordinated across the route network. By leveraging real-time data from GPS points and positioning between stops, Adibus’ headway system ensures buses maintain the correct distance, either in meters or time, creating a more reliable and efficient schedule for passengers.

Key Features of the Headway System:

• Live Distance Monitoring: Drivers can now see the precise distance to the bus ahead and behind in minutes on their screen, allowing them to adjust their driving to maintain a steady frequency.
• Flexible Route Setup: The system allows the definition of which routes and lines should be paced, enabling the adjustment of bus operations to meet local needs.
• Live Overview: A live view of bus performance against defined headway parameters provides both the central control and drivers with a clear understanding of route operations.
• Historical Reporting: The system includes comprehensive historical reporting, allowing for the analysis and optimization of operations over time.

Functionality:

For line 4A, specific route sections have been defined where buses from different starting points merge on particular stretches and then spread out again. The driver terminal continuously shows departure and arrival times based on when the bus ahead left the starting point, ensuring precise headway.

• Simple Headway: Buses on the same line maintain a fixed frequency without set departure times, allowing for a smooth flow of buses with minimal wait time.
• Shared Headway: Across lines defined within a geofenced area, buses merge and maintain a fixed time distance between them. At the end of the headway zone, the buses split and resume their normal schedules.

With real-time visualization of headway distances on the driver's screen and visual indicators for maintaining proper spacing, the system ensures more stable and reliable bus operations, benefiting both drivers and passengers.

Adibus Live offers a real-time view of headway, supporting more efficient bus operations across the entire route network.

With the new headway system from Adibus, we take another step towards smarter and more efficient public transportation.
