关于客户
Dubuque, Iowa lays just astride the Mississippi River, where The Jule operates a fixed route and complementary paratransit service to its 90,000 metro-area riders. The demographic of their ridership ranges from K-12 school-bound travelers and college students to elderly and alternatively abled riders. Transporting such a diverse population with unique needs requires analysis of a great deal of data. It also takes a person who’s willing to roll up her sleeves to get the job done. Enter Candace Eudaley, Director of Transit Operations at The Jule. Despite being involved with The Jule for only the past five years, she has had an enormous impact on her community. Candace’s philosophy is that transit management is about “giving people the gift of more time.” The best way to achieve this is to design optimal routes in order to provide faster, more reliable transit service.
挑战
Before automated scheduling and dispatching, buses simply didn’t connect efficiently. They had three transfer stations, but some buses weren’t getting to them. The system, as Candace describes is, “was set up to fail. But now they don’t. They just work.” Buses that once were empty are now better filled. Trips that once took 90 minutes are now performed in 30. Bus stops are now in more areas of the city reducing the need for paratransit service in some areas. This shift from costly paratransit to fixed route services, alone, has accounted for a large amount of savings. The new hub-and-spoke style system they’re developing along with the launching of a new indoor/outdoor transfer station will also help to relieve the burden placed upon paratransit. And of course, it will improve overall service, shorten travel times and completely facilitate transfers for all users. This has been greatly applauded by their ridership.
解决方案
The Jule implemented Streets ITS fixed route software in November of 2013. Prior to using CAD/AVL software, they did everything manually. They quickly discovered the immediate time-saving benefits of automation and digital data collection. One of the main reasons Candace chose TripSpark’s fixed route software solutions (over the competition) was due to its robust reporting capabilities. By reviewing ridership data on custom reports they are able to reduce miles driven to low traffic zones. Each individual stop and rider can be analyzed to learn who they are and where they’re going. By running customized fare reports, they can drill down to see not only the amount of riders boarding or de-boarding buses, but the precise passenger type who is using their service. Informed scheduling decisions can made to reduce any negative impacts on those who require their service the most. The Jule needs to make a case to Dubuque city council in order to justify funding for their agency. Candace needs to provide evidence to argue that proposed changes are in the best interest of both riders and the city budget. “This is why,” Candace says, “having data to back us up really helps. City council gets the best information possible.” Decisions have led to operational success for Candace and her team. And of course, showing how their scheduling decisions have led to huge savings has no doubt improved their reputation with city council. Streets has also allowed The Jule to reduce the amount of buses they require to provide the same (and even better) service. This has led to a reduction in their budget by $100,000.

Case Study
Turning A Stadium Into A Smart Building
Honeywell created what it called the “intelligent system” for the National Stadium in Beijing, China, turning the venue for the opening and closing events at the 2008 Summer Olympics into a “smart building.” Designed by highly controversial artist Ai Weiwei, the “Bird’s Nest” remains one of the most impressive feats of stadium architecture in the world. The 250,000 square meter structure housed more than 100,000 athletes and spectators at a time. To accommodate such capacity, China turned to Honeywell’s EBI Integrated Building Management System to create an integrated “intelligent system” for improved building security, safety and energy efficiency.

Smart Street Light Network (Copenhagen)
Key stakeholders are taking a comprehensive approach to rethinking smart city innovation. City leaders have collaborated through partnerships involving government, research institutions and solution providers. The Copenhagen Solutions Lab is one of the leading organizations at the forefront of this movement. By bringing together manufacturers with municipal buyers, the Copenhagen Solutions Lab has catalyzed the development and deployment of next-generation smart city innovations. Copenhagen is leveraging this unique approach to accelerate the implementation of smart city solutions. One of the primary focus areas is LED street lighting.
Case Study
Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

IoT-based Fleet Intelligence Innovation
Speed to market is precious for DRVR, a rapidly growing start-up company. With a business model dependent on reliable mobile data, managers were spending their lives trying to negotiate data roaming deals with mobile network operators in different countries. And, even then, service quality was a constant concern.

Buoy Status Monitoring with LoRa
The Netherlands are well-known for their inland waterways, canals, sluices and of course port activities. The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure indicates that there are thousands of buoys and fixed items in and near water environments that would profit from IoT monitoring. One of the problems with buoys for example, is that they get hit by ships and the anchor cable breaks. Without connectivity, it takes quite some time to find out that something has happened with that buoy. Not to mention the costs of renting a boat to go to the buoy to fix it. Another important issue, is that there is no real-time monitoring of the buoys at this moment. Only by physically visiting the object on the water, one gains insight in its status.
