Codelivery provided us with easy to use complex solution that saves tons of time and automated the whole process of tracking CCTV recordings.
Client overview
Our client is a mid-sized public transportation company operating in Polish cities. They manage a fleet of buses and are responsible for providing reliable and safe public transportation services. The company had recently won a municipal tender to operate bus routes in the city, which came with strict performance and safety requirements.
Project Scope
- Develop a system to accurately track and report safety incidents, including potential threats to passengers such as assaults, robberies, or accidents.
- Create a secondary mechanism to monitor and report incidents affecting bus schedules, such as traffic jams.
- Implement a solution to automatically collect and transmit incident data when buses return to the depot.
- Integrate the solution with the existing monitoring and ticketing systems provided by a third-party vendor.
- Ensure data security and reliability throughout the entire process.
To meet these objectives, Codelivery proposed an IoT-based solution that would seamlessly integrate with the client’s existing infrastructure while prioritizing passenger safety.
Solution implementation
Codelivery’s team of experts designed and implemented a comprehensive solution that included:
Custom hardware development
- Designed and built IoT devices using Raspberry Pi, capable of recording safety incident data and schedule disruptions in real-time.
- Integrated the devices with the buses’ existing systems to capture relevant information.
Software development
- Enhanced the existing third-party software interface for bus drivers to easily report both safety incidents and schedule disruptions.
- Developed a secure data transmission protocol to send incident data over Wi-Fi when buses return to the depot.
- Implemented an emergency alert system for drivers to quickly notify authorities in case of immediate threats to passenger safety.
Backend infrastructure
- Set up a robust server infrastructure to receive, process, and archive incident data.
- Implemented data analysis tools to generate reports and insights for the client, with a focus on identifying safety trends, potential risk areas, and schedule optimization opportunities.
Integration
- Seamlessly integrated the new system with the client’s existing fleet management and monitoring solutions.
Security measures
- Implemented end-to-end encryption for all data transmissions.
- Designed a secure authentication system for accessing the incident reporting interface and backend systems.
- Established protocols for immediate alert transmission to local authorities in case of severe safety incidents.
