Isfahan Invests in Smart Transport

Three projects have been unveiled to transform the transportation network of Isfahan into a smart system.
During an event on Sunday, urban managers in Isfahan unveiled Automatic Vehicle Location and Automated Fare Collection systems, as well as smart citizen cards, as key elements of a smart transportation network, IMNA reported.
The automatic vehicle location (AVL) system has been linked up to 1,300 urban buses and 300 express buses, providing urban managers with multidimensional and real-time location-based data.
AVL or tele-location system is a powerful tool for managing fleets of vehicles such as service, emergency and public transport vehicles such as buses and trains. It automatically determines and transmits the geographic location of a vehicle.
Vehicle location data, from one or more vehicles, may then be collected by a tracking system to manage an overview of vehicle’s whereabouts.
