Project Description

The aim of the project is the establishment of a unified Communication and Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) System for the regional transport companies for the neighboring transport associations Verkehrsverbund Oberelbe (VVO) and Verkehrsverbund Oberlausitz-Niederschlesien (VON) in the region Upper Lusatia-Lower Silesia. The regional AVL System uses a public mobile communications network and consists of the appropriate control centres and vehicle equipment.
Apart from the transport associations VVO and VON there are about 20 regional transport associations with a total of approx. 1,000 buses and trams involved as partners.
