SIMPLE INTEGRATION TO EXISTING TICKETER ETMs
No additional hardware or additional installation requirements, cutting down on unnecessary costs and ensuring immediate rollout to operators.
Ticketer products - Road Restriction Alerts
Due to changing schedules, road closures and rail replacement services, drivers can often find themselves along unfamiliar routes where a restricted access, such as a width or height limit may prevent the safe passage for some buses.
Ticketer’s Road Restriction feature alerts drivers when they are in the vicinity of a road with restricted access that cannot be accommodated by the vehicle the driver is currently driving.
Using the latest dataset of restricted roads across the UK, together with dimensions of the vehicles, the ETM can detect when the bus is approaching any restricted roads and warn the driver via a visible and audible alert.
“Ticketer’s enhanced driver alert functionality improves our drivers’ access to critical information. The seamless implementation of this customer-focused technology will allow us to introduce the update at pace and with ease, right across our UK-wide fleet. We look forward to working with Ticketer over the coming months to integrate learnings from the pilot and support the wider rollout of this important ETM update.”
Simon Pearson, Commercial Director at First Bus
Customisable geofences
The geofences used for height and width restrictions can be edited and modified to amend their radius, heading, dimension or even removing them from being sent to the ETMs to eliminate unnecessary false positives.
DRIVERS ALERTED WHEN RESTRICTION IS NEAR
An audible and visual alarm alerts when drivers have entered the radius of a height or width restriction to help avoid incidents.
Road restriction functionality
Operators can edit the vehicle attributes to ensure that restricted access is only alerted when necessary. For example, a low bridge alert may not need to be signalled when a single decker is approaching a low bridge.
ALERTS ARE ISSUED TO BACK OFFICE
Whenever an ETM displays an alert to the driver, the event is captured by the ETM and issued to the back office for audit purposes.
REGULAR UPDATES
The National Gazetteer is maintained through regular updates ensuring the list of restricted roads are synchronised with any local edits made.
