PSI Offers New Service for Public Transportation Route Planning in Real-time and Visualisation in Google Maps

Berlin, 19 July 2013 – PSI Transcom GmbH is offering its customers, large and medium-sized public transport operators, a new service: the visualisation of actual information on routes from its operations control system (RBL/ITCS). Routes and the corresponding current information are presented to the passengers for the precise stop in Google Maps. PSI customers who use the current version of the PSItraffic control technology solution can provide their passengers with extended passenger information at a manageable price.

Along with the conventional passenger information on displays at stops, the use of the “Google Transit” service provides an additional added value for many transportation companies. The data recorded in PSItraffic are made available through the special Google interface, General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS).

If real-time data are available, the visualisation in Google Maps does not only contain the route queried by the passenger, but also shows where the vehicle queried by the passenger is at that precise moment. Thus passengers can quickly see if the needed connection is available.

The internationally proven PSItraffic control technology solution controls and optimises the deployment of personnel and vehicles, monitors the entire infrastructure and assures an efficient disposition.

PSI AG develops and integrates complete solutions, on the basis of its own software products, for the management of energy networks (electricity, gas, oil, heat), production management (mining, metals, automotive, mechanical engineering, logistics) and infrastructure management for transport and safety. PSI was founded in 1969 and employs 1.600 people worldwide. www.psi.de/en, www.psi.transcom.de
