Public Transportation Solutions
Rugged onboard terminals for buses and public transport systems, supporting navigation, monitoring, and operation management.
Why Choose PDS for Public Transportation?
Multi-Camera Coverage
Up to 4-channel cameras cover front road view, rear traffic, passenger cabin surveillance, and driver monitoring to capture incidents, deter vandalism, and protect drivers and passengers.
Real-Time Passenger Information
Display next-stop announcements, transfer information, and estimated arrival times on the terminal or external passenger-information displays through CAN or RS232 integration.
GPS / RTK Route Adherence
High-precision GNSS with optional RTK supports automatic stop announcements, route-deviation alerts, and schedule adherence monitoring.
Multi-Screen Transit Display
Navigation, passenger counting, surveillance, and telematics can be shown on one display, especially on the 12.1-inch T12 for complex transit interfaces.
Built for Transit Duty Cycles
Designed for stop-and-go traffic, constant vibration, and 16+ hour daily operation using automotive-grade components and rugged power design.
Vehicle Diagnostics & Maintenance
OBD and CAN integration reads engine health, fuel consumption, and faults in real time to reduce breakdowns and improve fleet availability.
Find the Right Terminal for Every Machine
Proven in the Field — Real Results, Real Scale
Netherlands — Regional Bus Operator: T10 Pro for Smart Transit
A public transport operator serving a province in the Netherlands deployed PDS T10 Pro terminals across their fleet of 150 city and regional buses . The terminals serve as the central hub for route guidance (using RTK positioning for sub-meter accuracy), automatic next-stop announcements, and passenger counting via door-mounted sensors . Four-channel camera inputs provide a full view of the road ahead, passenger cabin, and the driver area — enhancing both passenger safety and driver security. Real-time data, including bus location and passenger loads, is transmitted via 4G to the operator‘s central control room, enabling dynamic schedule adjustments during peak hours . The operator has reported improved on-time performance and positive passenger feedback since deployment, and is now expanding the rollout to their remaining 200 buses
