Real Time Bus Information
Check Real Time Bus Information
What is real time bus information?
The bus is fitted with a tracking device in order for the Real Time Passenger Information (RTPI) system to know where it is. The system calculates how long it will take to arrive at each of the stops along the bus’s route. Using satellite technology the system then communicates the bus information to a display at the bus stop. The display shows when the bus is due to arrive. The displayed information is shown either in real time or timetable time, for example 6 mins or 11:06.
What is displayed on the screen?
The displays show the service number, destination and expected arrival time for upcoming buses. Once a journey is cancelled the destination will alternate with CANCELLED message. Real-time services are displayed with the predicted arrival time in minutes, with services expected to arrive in less than two minutes showing as “due”. Where real-time information is unavailable, the scheduled timetable time is displayed instead. Depending on the sign type, additional service information may also be displayed.
How does it help me?
As the system can track each bus location exactly, it can tell whether the bus is running on time, early or late. This information is then displayed on the screen at the bus stop. It also gives the operator chance to make dynamic changes to the bus whilst on route.
