Bus Management System
Comprehensive CAD/AVL and Passenger Information Systems
Providing everything from automated next-stop announcements to real-time schedule adherence alerts, and passenger information systems, Mentor's all-in-one CAD/AVL public transportation solution will transform your agency. With CAD/AVL software, you benefit from real-time automatic vehicle location status, simplified bus scheduling, route optimization and streamlined reporting. In-vehicle mobile computers enable efficient communication between drivers and dispatchers and help drivers stay on schedule.
 Everybody is facing tighter budgets, so part of what we needed from a CAD/AVL system was better data collection. This allows us to determine where the buses should be, where the buses should run, and how to get the best productivity from our buses. For me, it's all about getting good data.

For Managers
A comprehensive suite of standard reports allows you to monitor variables such as on-time performance, vehicle location, and fuel consumption. Custom reports can be developed with Mentor’s easy-to-use reporting tool, or use your in-house report writing capabilities. Mentor will never charge you to use your own data.
For Schedulers
Streets Schedule facilitates bus stop and route creation, trip generation, bidding, graphical blocking and run cutting. This lets schedulers easily create and optimize schedules and routes.
For Drivers
Next-stop information is automatically displayed on Mentor Ranger® in-vehicle computers, assisting new drivers and drivers working new routes. Ranger displays real-time early/late alerts, so drivers can stay on schedule. Onboard LED signs and stop announcements are automated so drivers can focus on the road.
