Gregory Presents: On the Bus with Transit ITS Technology

The key to optimizing vehicle productivity and keeping passengers happy is ensuring buses stay on schedule. Follow Bob, a fixed-route transit operator, as ITS technology works to automate many of his manual tasks for a simplified workload, and on-board schedule adherence alerts help keep him on time. Also see how an ITS solution integrates with technology on the bus, such as LED signs and voice annunciators, to further enhance the transit experience for passengers.




Gregory Presents: A Simpler Approach to Schedule Creation

Watch how much easier and efficient schedule creation can be with an all-in-one scheduling software suite. Gregory Osmond gives an in-depth demonstration of Mentor Streets® Schedule, and how it expedites the entire schedule creation process - from bus stop management to rostering/bidding and exporting schedules to Google™ Maps.




Lizards vs. Transit ITS: Dealing with the Unexpected

A fixed-route transit ITS solution will keep an agency running smoothly in the event of sick employees, traffic congestion or even... giant lizards? Watch the demo to see how an ITS solution can get the passengers of the Quietville transit agency to their destinations during an all-out reptilian invasion.




Gregory Presents: Mentor Streets® Efficient Driver/Dispatcher Communications

Gregory is back to show you how to enhance communication between drivers and dispatchers using Computer-Aided Dispatch and Automatic Vehicle Location (CAD/AVL) technology. Mentor Streets® software integrates CAD/AVL, allowing dispatchers to see where vehicles are on a map and send messages to drivers in real-time. Eliminate the dependence on radios for communication, increase on-time performance and improve customer satisfaction.




Gregory Presents: Mentor Streets® Transit and Automatic Vehicle Location

Transit Project Manager Gregory Osmond makes an animated appearance to demonstrate the many useful features of Mentor Streets' Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL). As part of the Mentor Streets transit ITS solution, AVL helps transit agencies know the location of all their buses at all times. From finding specific vehicles, to viewing historical routes buses traveled, this demo will show you how AVL keeps dispatchers informed.




Life Cycle of a Work Order

Is work order management dragging your efficiency down and inflating your overtime costs? In this quick demo, watch how a workforce management system can streamline how you manage work orders from start to finish.




Paratransit Driver/Dispatch Communication

Congested radio waves might make seamless communication between drivers and dispatchers at your paratransit agency seem impossible. This short demo will show you how a Transit ITS solution can make driver/dispatcher communication more efficient to increase productivity for everyone.




Paratransit ITS Workflow Demo

Dealing with constantly changing customer requirements, inaccurate manual data entry and no-shows makes managing a paratransit agency a challenging task. This demo will show you how a paratransit ITS solution will make your days much less stressful, with simplified on-the-fly schedule changes and improved on-time performance being just some of the benefits. Watch how ITS technology makes the Number 1 Transit Agency run much more efficiently.



Speed and Idling Demo

There is technology that lets you analyze driver behaviors and track idling costs to eliminate wasteful driving habits, increase ROI and keep your costs down. This animated demo explains the finer points of speed and idling monitoring.





In-Vehicle Navigation Demo

This short demo provides a first-hand look at in-vehicle navigation, how it works and the advantages it can bring to a fleet-based business. It's paratransit-specific but applies to any operation where drivers have multiple pickups or job sites to go to during the work day. In-vehicle navigation helps drivers take the most direct and efficient routes to their destinations. By eliminating paper maps and frantic calls to dispatch for directions, drivers save fuel and arrive on-time.
