The best bus fleet management software should include the ability to optimise routes, manage vehicle maintenance, and schedule each bus to ensure they arrive on time. In the fleet management arena, there are plenty of new features from Cartrack that are tailored to bus fleets. So let’s look at everything you need to know about the bus fleet management system we offer and why you should implement it into your own bus fleet.
The main ways our Cartrack Bus Fleet Solution helps your bus-reliant business is by ultimately saving you money and keeping your drivers compliant with SA road laws. We also help you by keeping your buses running on time and giving you more control over each vehicle whether it’s on the road, stationary, or in for a service.
Specific problems faced by bus fleets are not keeping to a strict schedule when picking up and dropping off passengers, and suffering downtime due to broken-down buses. Bus fleet management solves this problem by providing an easy-to-follow, AI-driven scheduling plan that keeps your bus drivers on schedule within a space of minutes and on the quickest routes. We also use AI to PREDICT maintenanceneeds ahead of time.
Fleet management software improves your bus scheduling and routing by combining GPS technology with AI algorithms. Together, these two work out the best routes according to the best possible schedule. FMS that’s AI-powered can even keep your buses running more efficiently thanks to predictive vehicle maintenance. All these allow your bus drivers to serve more passengers in a day, increasing profits and service all round.
Yes, Cartrack’s software tracks a range of helpful telematics vehicle data) points. If you choose the right features for your bus fleet management software, it can track fuel use, what the vehicle is doing (idling, speeding, or whether it’s on or off), and even driver behaviour.
The system helps to prevent bus accidents by identifying risky driving behaviour. These parameters are set according to road speed limits, sharp corners, and even high-crime areas. Cartrack also has an intuitive AI camera system that warns your drivers if they show signs of fatigue, or if they smoke, eat & drink, or get distracted while they drive.
Yes, Cartrack’s bus fleet management system will also manage your vehicle maintenance schedules, but in a much cleverer way than most other systems. It doesn’t just set a date for the maintenance, it analyses each vehicle through diagnostic channels and predicts when your vehicle will need to be serviced.
The cost of bus fleet management software will always depend on the features you choose from. There may be some features that your fleet won’t need, or some that don’t fit into your current budget. That’s why Cartrack allows you to tailor your features according to the best combination suited to your needs and means.
Yes, the best part about Cartrack is that the software is customisable, so you can always add or remove features down the line if your needs change. As your bus fleet grows, it’s a good idea to add more features to help you manage a larger fleet.
There are four essential features that every bus operator should be prioritising, and these include how much fuel they use, what routes they take, how safe they drive, and the condition of their bus. Bus fleet management software helps with all of these priorities and simplifies their monitoring.
Yes, Cartrack’s bus fleet management system can be added to an existing system to improve it. If you already have one feature that you’re comfortable using, simply integrate our additional features to make improvements to your fleet operation to optimise it.
Passengers will experience fewer late pickups, as well as safer travelling. They’ll quickly learn which buses they can best rely on and choose to travel on those buses rather than ones that are often late or drive recklessly. Overall, your workflow will improve, and you’ll be serving more passengers over time.
Yes, the software prevents bus bunching by synchronising schedules and planning routes. So instead of three buses arriving late and at the same time, one bus will arrive on time, while the subsequent two will arrive a respective five minutes after each other.
