Westchester County in New York, has selected GMV to upgrade its transit technology platform to improve the customer experience on its Bee Line buses.
GMV will deploy ITS products for public transport, GMV Hub (EP200) and ITS Suite.
GMV has already successfully deployed its EP200 in ATM Barcelona, Xunta de Galicia, Granada or Baix Llobregat.
CEO of GMV’s North American transportation business, Ian Sephton, said: “Even with the best technology in the world, excellent customer service is what makes projects successful and builds long term relationships with our clients.
“Face to face, in-person collaboration with clients is critical, and we’re excited to grow our presence in New York.”
On each Bee Line bus, the company will install the GMV Hub, a rugged vehicle computer that is specifically designed and built by GMV for transit systems to ensure robust performance and long service life.
The GMV Hub uses an open architecture to control a range of onboard systems including GPS, bus operator touchscreen, automatic passenger counters, next stop announcements and a dedicated sensor for precision tracking in indoor bus depots.
The GMV Hub also functions as a digital video recorded to store footage from security cameras on each bus.
This multifunction device significantly reduces the project’s equipment cost and delivers great value to the county.
Westchester County executive George Latimer said: “We are thrilled to announce Westchester’s Bee-Line Bus System will be getting this cutting-edge technology upgrade, which will improve customer safety, real-time operations management, and efficiency.
“The comprehensive upgrade also supports our commitment to sustainability with zero-emission fleet integrations and will enhance the experience for the everyday rider by incorporating modern mobility solutions.”
Achievements and innovations in intelligent transport systems and public transport will be celebrated at the third annual CiTTi Awards, which will be held on 26 November 2024 at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London.
