PASSENGER OCCUPANCY
It should be no surprise that I start this 2020 review by discussing our Passenger Occupancy feature. We recognised early on that social distancing on buses could present issues and so we mobilised quickly to develop an enhancement to the ETM to allow the driver to quickly and efficiently count passengers off which then allowed the ETM to maintain a count of how many passengers were on board, primarily for the driver’s benefit so they could always see how many people were on board without having to leave their cab.
But that wasn’t the end of that feature. We extended it to also count when the wheelchair spaces were occupied. We developed an extension to SIRI to forward this information onto third party systems such as mobile apps. Passengers could also see this information as the bus approached the bus stop via an integration with Hanover Destination Displays and we extended the back office to collect and display this data.
