关于客户
Hampton Roads Transit (HRT) is the agency responsible for providing public transportation services in the Hampton Roads metropolitan area of Virginia. This region includes several cities such as Hampton, Newport News, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Virginia Beach. HRT operates a variety of transportation modes including buses, light rail, and ferries. Additionally, HRT manages an extensive paratransit service that completes over 360,000 trips annually. The agency is committed to providing accessible, reliable, and convenient transportation options to its diverse rider base, which includes ADA-approved riders who rely on paratransit services for their daily commutes to jobs, healthcare appointments, and community activities.
挑战
Transportation in Hampton Roads, Virginia, is no small feat. The agency tasked with connecting this sprawling metropolitan area, Hampton Roads Transit (HRT), operates bus, light rail, and ferry routes, in addition to an extensive paratransit service that completes more than 360,000 trips per year. In late 2019, driven by mounting costs and frustrations from riders experiencing unreliable vehicle arrival times, circuitous routes, and inflexible scheduling transit leaders knew this service needed an operations and technology overhaul. They issued an RFP, which Via won.
解决方案
In February 2020, Via took over operations and maintenance (O&M), and the technology for HRT’s entire paratransit service from two legacy providers. HRT made the decision to combine their paratransit technology provider and operations into one streamlined contract with Via. On the tech side, Via introduced proprietary software, including intelligent routing algorithms and sophisticated rider and driver apps. Operationally, Via leverages experience managing large driver populations to establish a culture of professionalism, and HRT benefits from real-time visibility into the service at all times. A call center, web portal, and rider app give customers flexibility when booking rides, while in-app notifications, SMS reminders, and automated voice calls ensure passengers stay informed. After assuming operations in February, the world changed due to COVID-19. Thankfully, technology makes new safety protocols possible, from limiting vehicle capacity to facilitating contact tracing.

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.

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.
Case Study
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.
