VG710-H 5G vehicle gateway enabling digital transformation for urban bus systems

Key Takeaways

Smart Transport: Digital Upgrading in a Famous Tourist City The VG710-H 5G vehicle gateway builds a reliable, compatible and interoperable network for city bus systems, helping drive the digital transformation of urban public transport. This facilitates IP-based networking within the vehicle, enabling intercommunication between devices and facilitating fleet management.

Background

With the growth of urban population and expansion of city areas, inter-regional mobility has become increasingly common. Public transport companies and relevant regulatory authorities not only require more robust safety management models for buses but also strive to offer passengers a more convenient boarding experience.

Customer Requirements

Integrated Platform for
Precise Operation and...
Public buses incorporate various systems such as broadcast TV, passenger flow statistics, vehicle announcement, and monitoring systems.
Ensured Urban Road and
Passenger Safety
To attain safe bus operation, comprehensive video surveillance of vehicles is essential.
Enhanced Passenger
Experience
Elevating the interactive capabilities of buses and bus stop displays enables efficient dissemination of information and communication of updates.
Passenger Engagement
and Feedback
Establish channels for passengers to easily provide opinions, suggestions, and complaints. This enables a timely understanding of passenger needs, improves service quality, and provides a more personalized passenger experience.
ITxPT Compliance
ITxPT (Information Technology for Public Transport) standards for Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) play a crucial role in vehicle digitalization solutions.

Solution

VG710-H 5G vehicle gateway enabling digital transformation of urban bus systems

The project leverages InHand’s VG710-H vehicle edge computing gateway to enable IoT capabilities for public buses. This implementation facilitates real-time collection and upload of vehicle status and travel data, comprehensive vehicle monitoring and identification, location-based navigation, and driver behavior monitoring.

The solution follows a typical IoT architecture of “edge + communication + cloud”. The “edge” encompasses components such as onboard vehicle control systems, passenger counting cameras, driver assistance cameras, broadcasting and television controllers, dispatch terminals, and all-around vehicle monitoring cameras. The “communication” is realized through the VG710-H vehicle gateway, which supports functionalities like GPS/BeiDou positioning, LTE remote communication, vehicle area network communication, and edge computing. It captures and exchanges data from various bus systems within a Docker environment, ensuring real-time data upload to the cloud platform.

The cloud platform serves as a digital hub for the transit system, integrating intelligent dispatching, secure operations, travel services, information dissemination, and more. This comprehensive approach combines the power of edge computing, seamless communication, and cloud-based services to drive a smarter, more efficient, and passenger-centric public transportation experience.
