Venice
Advanced AVL system for seamless monitoring and management of Venice's unique multi-modal public transport network
ACTV operates a complex and diverse network of bus, tram, and waterbus lines in the Venice metropolitan area.
At Thetis IT, we've developed an advanced AVL system that seamlessly integrates with this unique multi-modal service. Our solution equips over 150 waterbuses and ferry boats, 650 buses, and 20 trams with cutting-edge on-board technology, including Italy's first fully contactless ticketing system.
Leveraging our innovative software, the main control room and remote locations can monitor and manage urban, interurban, and waterway services in real-time, generating certified reports for operational efficiency.
We've designed our ITxPT-compliant on-board system to feature a state-of-the-art computer and touchscreen device. This system interfaces seamlessly with the contactless ticketing system, internal and external displays, content management system, video surveillance, passenger counting system, and traffic light priority system.
Our control center software goes beyond basic management, handling passenger information by displaying real-time updates on schedules and service status on screens installed at terminals. This comprehensive approach ensures that Venice's diverse transport network operates smoothly and efficiently, enhancing the travel experience for both residents and visitors in this iconic city.
