Chandigarh, 28th
April, 2017: The Automatic Vehicle Location
System (AVLS) Project of CTU was launched today by H.E- Sh. V.P. Singh Badnore,
Governor Punjab & Administrator, U.T. Chandigarh at Punjab Raj Bhawan. With
the launch of the system, Chandigarh Transport Undertaking has taken a step
further to bring information technology in its operation. Envisaged in
September-2016, the project was completed in January-2017 by the Chandigarh
Transport Undertaking. Post which, the project was put on testing for two
months.
The
Project provides the live positioning of all Inter-State Buses (Approx 130 Nos)
of CTU. It also gives the Expected Time of Arrival (ETA) for all Bus stops on
the way as well as final Destination of the Journey. The expected Time of
Departure is also given for all the Bus Stops (including ISBT-17 & ISBT-43)
for CTU buses. The calculation of ETA is automatically updated as per Traffic
congestion on route.
All
the information is available through an Android Based Mobile App “CTU Bus Tracker” which is available
free on Google PlayStore. The information on buses can also be found on CTU
website www.chdctu.gov.in. CTU has also installed
two Passenger Information screens on the two ISBTs. In the coming days, more
screens shall be put up by CTU. This
project shall prove to be highly beneficial for the CTU Management as it shall
be able to monitor the Schedule/ Route of the buses and any deviation therein
shall be highlighted automatically. It shall enforce the time adherence &
quality of service.
