Automatic Vehicle Location
Futurefleet's Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) capabilities enable passenger transport operators to monitor the real-time movements and performance of any vehicles equipped with Futurefleet's GPS-enabled mobile data terminals (MDTs).
Using an intuitive web interface, operators can view the movements of any vehicle, or group of vehicles, being automatically updated on a map view. The progress of each vehicle along its route can also be viewed in a user-friendly logical route view, with details of on-schedule performance.
Operators can customize detailed management reports for monitoring schedule performance, passenger load performance, revenue performance, and journeys / distances traveled for any vehicle or driver.
The benefits to these AVL and associated reporting capabilities include:
- Improved operational performance
- Improved availability of data for scheduling and planning
- Improved ability to meet reporting requirements
- Improved schedule adherence
- Improved control for dispatchers
- Greater predictability of services
- Increased customer satisfaction with reduced customer complaints
- Improved communications
- Faster response time to any problems encountered by drivers
- Increased driver and passenger security
Back Office Content Management
Futurefleet provides transport operators with an easy-to-use web application for easily managing and updating stop, route, schedule and ticketing information.
You can quickly import all of this information from an external file or use an intuitive web interface to rapidly define your entire transport network.

Whenever you update any of this content, the changes are immediately made available on each vehicle that's equipped with a Futurefleet mobile data terminal (MDT).
You can even export your entire transport network as a GTFS file, so that your customers are able to look-up your services directly via Google Maps. Learn more about this here.

Free Google Transit Integration
With Futurefleet,TM you can quickly export all of your routing and scheduling content for integration with Google Transit, thereby making information about your services available to the millions of people who search for transit information via Google Maps.
Avego's rapid export procedure ensures that your content is formatted and validated as a Google Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) file, making it compatible with Google Transit.
Once your content is integrated with Google Transit, it is available in multiple languages to anyone who uses Google’s point-to-point trip planning feature in Google Maps. This user-friendly tool can serve as a “discovery portal” for users unfamiliar with an area’s transit system, as well as an added convenience for season transit travelers.
Making your routes and schedules available via Google Maps can help you increase the exposure of your services, experience ridership gains and see improvements in customer satisfaction.
AvegoTM is now offering its Google Transit integration capability for free to any passenger transport operator. Just send us an e-mail if you are interested in exporting your transport service information as a GTFS file.
