adibus LaneManagement

Overview of the core elements of adibus LaneManagement

How does the bus choose the right lane at the station if there is a space for several buses in the same line?

adibus LaneManagement helps with priority, signage and direction of buses at multi line stations where several buses share the same lane.

adibus LaneManagement ensures that:

the order of buses in bus lanes is correct according to departure time
signage at the station indicates correct platform numbers
control of the depot at the station where the buses are on breaks
passengers receive information about bus position
driver receives information about the platform on real-time terminals or via infoscreens

The system is particularly suitable for compact stations, where buses have no fixed places, but share common bus lanes.
