5,000 bus equipped with PAPIS

40 tramways equipped with rear-view system

and CCTV Onboard and at stop PIS, planning and scheduling software HEURES

Ahmedabad population: 6 to 7 Millions inhabitants

Before 2009: No mass rapid transit system

Solution: Bus Rapid Transit

Design: Gujarat Infrastructure Development Board and CEPT University, from 2005

Launch of BRT: 2009

The first corridor connecting Pirana to RTO Junction was opened to public on 14 October 2009 by then the Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi.

Operational Route : 97 Kms

Total Fleet: 250 Buses (184 AC & 66 Non AC)

Total No Of Routes: 12 + new airport route

Total Stations: 157

Avg. Ridership/day: 135 000 Passengers

Avg. Income/day: 1 800 000 Rs.

Total Kms/day: 53 000 Kilometers

Business Model: Operations and Maintenance outsourced Gross Cost Model based on 200 Kms/day/bus

Vision: Attract more Passengers with better Services Optimize Operational Costs Using innovative IT Solutions and Data analysis

Innovations: New ITS, integrated with city bus (AMTS) Introducing Planning and Scheduling Big Data Statistical analysis

First Results for 2017 field implementation:

Total Saved Kilometres per Month 1,15,414 KMS

Total Saved Amount per Month

Rs.61,16,953

7.3%

Increase of Ridership (August 2017 vs.

2016) 8.7%

• In all of the above data average cost per kilometre has been taken as Rs.53 • Ridership natural growth average around 3% before implementation

Analysis: GPS logs (Big Data) for speed analysis

Objective: Better service reliability (schedule adherence)

Analysis: Ticketing (Big Data) for ridership analysis

Objective: Services where and when Passenger’s demand Optimize Operational Kilometers

IT Solution: Planning and Scheduling System Producing reliable Passenger’ Services Integrating field constraints and Demand Respecting rules & regulations & O&M contracts Optimizing resources and kilometres Integrating BRT and City bus (AMTS) systems
