adibus Operation

The daily, 24/7/365 operation of the bus, tram, and train fleet.

The daily operation is managed on the adibus Live platform, where the main HMI is the Live Map, displaying all the operator’s buses, trams, and trains in real time.

The vehicles are color-coded—green, yellow, and red—indicating whether they are on schedule, delayed, or ahead of schedule.

Operators can easily access real-time details of a bus, tram, or train by clicking on its icon on the map. This will display:

Line, route and status
List of stops already visited with timestamps, along with the estimated time of arrival (ETA) for upcoming stops
Time deviation, showing whether the vehicle is behind or ahead of schedule in seconds/minutes
Speed and heading
Fuel or power consumption
Real-time passenger count and passenger load relative to maximum capacity

Alarm handling

Several parameters are automatically monitored to trigger alarms, while the driver can also manually activate an alarm.

Emergency alarm

The driver can initiate an emergency alarm by pressing a button located near the driver’s seat. This will generate an audible alarm in the adibus Live control center and activate a live video stream from the bus, tram, or train with two-way audio. This allows the operator to see and hear the incident in real time and communicate with the driver via VoIP.

The recorded video footage will include the 5–10 seconds preceding the alarm activation, providing insight into the events leading up to the incident. Other triggers for the alarm may include a sudden deceleration (e.g., from 50 to 0 km/h in one second).

Smart electric bus drive

adibus Live continuously monitors the state of charge (SOC) of electric vehicles. If it becomes evident that a bus will not be able to complete its route (block), an alarm is triggered for both the driver and the operator. The operator can then schedule a replacement vehicle and coordinate the swap with the driver.

Customized alarms

Operators can configure specific parameters to trigger alarms in buses, trams, or trains. These alarms can be based on any telemetry data from the vehicle or other predefined events that require monitoring.

Other operational features

adibus Call – Voice call (VoIP) between the operation center and the driver. The call is always initiated by the operator, but the driver can request it.

Manual override – Includes manual control of destination signs for buses, trams, and trains, as well as manual sign-in and sign-off, and the arrangement of replacement vehicles.

Historical data – Data captured from each bus, tram, and train is stored for up to 3 years.
