Introduction
• Recent developments• Perth Busport• RTTS Trial (2012>)• Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) upgrade• RTTS (Real Time Tracking System)• TSP (Traffic Signal Priority)• DSMS (Dynamic Stand Management
System)• The future…
Recent developments
• Transperth website• SmartRider• SmartParker• Journey Planning• Transperth App• Third party (google
etc.)• Not real time, although
data can be accessed retrospectively
Perth Busport (CityLink)
• 16 stands (same as WSBS), growth 50%+ • DSMS maximises stand utilisation• DSMS requires RTTS to operate
Real Time Tracking System & Traffic Signal Priority Trial
• Test in advance of full fleet roll out• 130 buses from Karrinyup Depot
Real Time Tracking System management output
Traffic Signal Priority Trial
• MRWA – PTA collaboration• GPS triggers request/ clearance• SCATS accepts or declines• Reliability/ consistency of JT• No physical infrastructure• Scarborough Beach Road• Moving people
Real Time Tracking System/ Traffic Signal Priority Trial -
Results
• Travel time savings up to 2 minutes (12%)• Journey time variance reduced by up to 23
seconds (25%)• Positive operator feedback• Used at MRWA TOC• Passengers able to download App• Enabled enhanced specification for full
fleet wide system
Integrated AFC/ RTTS/ TSP/ DSMS
Downer awarded contract Transperth fleet-wide delivery of;• Upgraded Automatic Fare Collection• Real Time Tracking• Traffic Signal Priority• Dynamic Stand Management• Single box solution
Delivered by 2016
Automatic Fare Collection
• No immediate change from passenger perspective
• Future Smart Card Validator upgrade• EMV (Europay/ Mastercard/ Visa)• Automatic real time passenger counts
RTTS – Back Office
• Schedule data stored in TRIS is uploaded into RTTS (and DSMS)
• Driver shift details matched against trip• Bus tracked in real time against schedule• Position checked using enhanced GPS• Updates sent every 15-30 seconds from
bus to back office via 3G/ 4G• Linked trips (predict subsequent trips)
RTTS – Passenger Benefits
• Real-time stop arrival predictions (via web)• Real-time journey time predictions
RTTS – Operational benefits
• Quick response to incidents• Improved management• Fire/ duress alerts• Information shared with agencies• Enhanced service planning• Driver navigation tool• Destination blind control
Traffic Signal Priority
• Similar to trial system (GPS request)• Able to pick more than one phase• Test planned for mid 2015
DSMS – How it works
Dynamic Stand Management (1)
• Bus enters and sets down passengers at Bus Stand
Dynamic Stand Management (2)
• Bus moves from Bus Stand to Layover Stand
Dynamic Stand Management (3)
• Bus moves from Layover Stand to Bus Stand to pick up passengers
Dynamic Stand Management (4)
• Bus departs Busport
Timelines
• Mid 2015 – New equipment starts being rolled out on buses and Traffic Signal Priority Test
• Mid 2015> – Real time tracking rolled out progressively across fleet
• 2016 – DSMS goes live when Perth Busport opens
• Improves; passenger experience, bus route performance & use of infrastructure
