From December 2020, Passenger will provide AVL data to BODS on behalf of Nottingham City Transport (NCT ) who work with German ETM provider INIT. This step will ensure that NCT will be compliant with the forthcoming regulations, ahead of the January 2021 deadline.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"block-core-paragraph\">\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Operator AVL and TXC hosted by Passenger are linked for automatic updates via its open data hub, which provides an easily accessible data store for BODS, and its predecessor Traveline, during the transition period between them. <\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"block-core-image aligncenter\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12843 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.masabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Screenshot-2020-12-09-at-10.00.45.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"3488\" height=\"2620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.masabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Screenshot-2020-12-09-at-10.00.45.png 2560w, https:\/\/www.masabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Screenshot-2020-12-09-at-10.00.45-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.masabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Screenshot-2020-12-09-at-10.00.45-1024x769.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.masabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Screenshot-2020-12-09-at-10.00.45-768x577.png 768w, https:\/\/www.masabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Screenshot-2020-12-09-at-10.00.45-1536x1154.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.masabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Screenshot-2020-12-09-at-10.00.45-2048x1538.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.masabi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Screenshot-2020-12-09-at-10.00.45-1568x1178.png 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3488px) 100vw, 3488px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"block-core-paragraph\">\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anthony Carver-Smith, Marketing Manager at NCT said, \u201cWhen the regulations were announced there was a concern from operators that it could be a time-consuming process to meet the new legislation, adding to an already full workload in delivering services. But Passenger has made compliance with the new regulations automatic for NCT. <\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"block-core-paragraph\">\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Passenger already has the necessary data infrastructure in place as our real-time vehicle location data is used to track our buses on the NCT website and app. So we are grateful that they have also now been able to provide the necessary link to the BODS service. This assistance from Passenger has allowed us to sidestep some technical complexities and be compliant ahead of the deadline\u201d.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"block-core-paragraph\">\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Passenger also confirms that it will act as a BODS Agent for any bus operator or local authority seeking assistance to meet the regulations. BODS Agent Mode functionality, released to the service in November 2020, allows bus operators to delegate responsibility for publishing data to a local transport authority or private agent, enabling organisations like Passenger to manage operator BODS accounts on their behalf. <\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"block-core-paragraph\">\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere are a host of ticket machine providers in the UK. Many will be providing direct feeds of AVL data to BODS. Where this isn\u2019t the case, Passenger can help.\u201d said Alex Ross, Senior Engineer at Passenger.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"block-core-paragraph\">\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Across England, over 50% of public transport trips are made by local bus, and even with reduced travel due to Covid regulations and lockdowns, buses have been crucial to keeping the country moving. <\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"block-core-paragraph\">\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Transport for London (TfL) released its own open data in 2007 and found that routes with real-time service updates reported a 2% uplift in patronage (compared to routes without). Better access to real-time bus locations and vehicle information is an important part of improving the bus travel experience for everyone.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technology company Passenger becomes an official agent and data supplier for the Bus Open Data Service. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":12842,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6708","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-product-news","product-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
