GMV has now signed the turnkey contract for Jakarta’s public-transport system with Dinas Perhubungan DKI Jakarta (Transportation and Traffic Department of the Government of Jakarta) for the bus operator Transjakarta. Cities all around the world are now looking for new, more sustainable and efficient public-transport arrangements to fit in with the new economic and cultural context. This is where Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems come into their own. Dedicated public-transport lanes in cities help to streamline public-transport flows with a minimum outlay. This new transport model is now being taken up wholesale in many regions of the world and nowhere more enthusiastically than in Jakarta’s BRT system, soon to become one of the world’s biggest. During 2013 and 2014 GMV will install the system on the whole fleet and all bus-lines, involving over 600 buses and more than 200 stations. In an initial phase GMV has already successfully deployed a GPRS-based fleet management system for part of the public-transport fleet. The project also includes a complete passenger-information system installed by Fujitsu Indonesia, with bus-stop panels giving voice information for the visually handicapped plus internet-based information; this cuts operation costs and improves control over vehicle activity. The control center is made up by servers in high-availability configuration together with entirely GMV-developed software acting as the real core of the whole system. The advanced algorithms of this software enable bus-stop ETAs to be calculated with only tiny margins of error. GMV’s system improves public transport management in the Jakarta region (Greater Jakarta), one of the world’s most populous conurbations with about 30 million inhabitants. This system provides the necessary technology for the monitoring, regulation and control of the fleet and working up the running data afterwards.
