State of the Art: Vehicle Tracking

TfL accurately tracks 8500 public service vehicles on one of the world’s largest metropolitan bus networks. The technology feeds a host of back office services, from service control to paying bus operators £1.6bn annually for the services operated. In 2012, TfL launched an Application Programme Interface (API) that feeds this operational data – the predicted arrival data and service information – to third parties for the development of smartphone ‘apps’ , research and development projects. Simon will outline the technology used and share the experience and business benefits TfL experienced with the API operation.
