Dhanus Technologies Limited, a Chennai-based telecommunications company, has bagged an order from the All Kerala Bus Operators Organization to deploy its FleeTrac solution in 10,000 buses.
People will now be able to know where one's bus has reached and how long it will take to reach their stop just through a simple SMS.The system includes a Fleetrac gadget fitted in each vehicle, a GSM modem attached with a remote machine, a stand-alone management station and a web-based solution.
FleeTrac is an integrated vehicle tracking system, which will help display passenger information on multiple media, including SMS, using a centralized network operating center. Web users will also be able to see Google maps to track the movement of buses.
The initiative is expected to provide real-time tracking of the buses using telematics technology, which will provide scheduling information such as location, arrival, departure time of buses and time to destination to the general public through Internet and short text messages.
