Telemetry, punctuality, and passenger data for transit fleets

AutoPi connects to buses and rail vehicles via CAN, CAN-FD, J1939, and auxiliary I/O to capture propulsion, HVAC, doors/ramps, battery, and brake data in real time. Devices buffer offline and synchronize securely to the cloud over signed, compressed channels so every vehicle becomes a traceable data node,streaming status, faults, and location.

Typical setup: periodic PID/UDS polling (1–10s), burst capture on DTCs or threshold breach, GTFS-RT feed generation for real-time passenger info, and geofence rules for depots and timepoints. Templates apply per OEM and model year to ensure consistent decoding across mixed fleets.

Signals are time-aligned with GPS and IMU for headway adherence, dwell analysis, and on-time performance. APIs (REST/MQTT) and scheduled exports (CSV/JSON/PDF) feed AVL/ETA systems, BI tooling, and agency data portals.

Transit fleet telemetry and geofencing
Real-time Vehicle Tracking

Real-time vehicle tracking

Publish accurate positions, headings, and speeds with sub-second timestamps. Generate GTFS-Realtime trip updates, vehicle positions, and service alerts. Headway and bunching detection highlight spacing issues; depot/stop geofences compute enter/exit and dwell for timetable adherence.

Advanced Diagnostics

Advanced diagnostics

Capture CAN/J1939 faults, temperatures, pressures, door/bridge states, wheelchair ramp cycles, and HVAC performance. Triggers start high-rate logging on DTCs or anomalies and open tickets or webhooks automatically for rapid response.

Systems Integration

Systems integration

Connect to CAD/AVL, fare and APC systems through REST, MQTT, webhooks, and scheduled exports. Support for GTFS-RT, SIRI/ITxPT data models, and agency BI pipelines ensures interoperable analytics and rider information.

Data-driven Insights

Data-driven insights

Analyze dwell times, stop-level demand, on-time performance, energy use (e-bus), and driver events. Compare routes, blocks, and garages, and surface root causes for delays or excess idling to improve service reliability.

Operations

Real-time monitoring for reliable, on-time service

Live telemetry from vehicle networks, GPS, and environmental sensors tracks headway, dwell, and speed adherence across routes and blocks. Threshold rules trigger alerts for overheating, low air pressure, HVAC underperformance, or door faults. Each alert includes timestamp, location, and sensor trace for quick triage.

Vehicles can operate in low-coverage corridors,devices buffer offline and synchronize automatically when connectivity returns. Dashboards visualize active trips, early/late status, and bunching; scheduled exports produce daily OTP and dwell reports for planners and operations.

Configuration, parsers, and firmware are versioned with author, timestamp, and diff. OTA jobs support staged rollout and rollback so fleet changes can be tested on a subset before system-wide deployment.

Standards & data exchange

Interoperable feeds for rider info, CAD/AVL, and BI

Generate GTFS-Realtime feeds for trip updates, service alerts, and vehicle positions. Support SIRI/ITxPT data structures for European deployments and integrate with APC and fare systems for accurate ridership and dwell analysis.

For e-bus programs, collect traction battery metrics, charging sessions, and energy per km to track efficiency and range. All datasets are normalized and time-aligned for downstream analytics in agency tools or data lakes.

Integration options include REST, MQTT, and scheduled file exports (CSV/JSON/PDF) partitioned by route, garage, or service day. Every export is logged with task IDs and retention controls for auditing and reproducibility.

Frequently asked questions

Answers about transit telematics, GTFS-Realtime, headway and dwell analytics, diagnostics, e-bus energy, integrations, and data security.

Bus, shuttle, BRT, tram, and rail fleets. Each vehicle exposes telemetry (GPS, speed, dwell), diagnostics (CAN/J1939/UDS), and events (doors, ramps, HVAC). Data is normalized and time-aligned for CAD/AVL, ETA, maintenance, and planning.

Live GPS and sensor data compute headway, dwell, and early/late status per stop. Rules alert on bunching, excess dwell, or route deviation so dispatch can re-space vehicles, short-turn, or hold to recover OTP in service.

The platform can generate GTFS-Realtime feeds (TripUpdates, VehiclePositions, ServiceAlerts) and map telemetry to SIRI/ITxPT structures. Feeds are partitionable by route, block, or garage for downstream rider info and CAD/AVL.

Devices poll CAN/J1939/UDS and raise events on DTCs or abnormal trends (overheat, low air, HVAC underperformance). Burst capture stores high-rate windows around events; webhooks or tickets are opened automatically for maintenance.

Yes. REST/MQTT/webhooks and scheduled exports (CSV/JSON/PDF) enable bidirectional exchange. Correlate APC counts and fare events with dwell and headway for planning and block/route adjustments.

Capture traction battery SoC/SoH, voltage/current, temperatures, and charge sessions. Compute energy per km, regen, and efficiency by route, weather, and load to manage range and charging schedules.

Door states, ramp/bridge cycles, and fault codes are logged with timestamps and location. Alerts on ramp failures or repeated retries speed response and document compliance for audits.

Per-device authentication, TLS, signed payloads, and role-based access. All actions (config, OTA, commands) are logged with user, device ID, and result. Offline buffering preserves continuity; verified sync prevents tampering or loss.

Fleet templates define loggers, triggers, jobs, and parsers per OEM/model year. OTA supports staged rollout, canaries, and rollback. Every change stores author, timestamp, and diff; devices return exit codes and logs.

Scheduled OTP, dwell, headway, and incident reports by route/garage/service day. Exports as CSV/JSON/PDF or webhooks to BI/TMS/data lakes. Each export has task IDs, timestamps, and retention controls for auditability.
