Using ITS to Improve Transport Services
Function
Allow Real Time Monitoring, Control, Adjust and Support to Driver
Use GPS Devices to Collect Bus Information:
Location
Speed
Direction
Information are Transmitted to Dispatching Center by Wireless Networks / Dedicated Fiber-Optic Networks.
Compare with the Schedule and Adjust Buses Operating Status
When Necessary, Call the Driver Using the In-Vehicle Phone to Deal with Emergency Situation and Achieve-Real-Time Locating and Scheduling of Buses.

20. China Experiences Xining Experience Learned
Stage Implementation cause tender and procurement problem for ITS equipment
Tender full system but allow stage implementation with price adjustment
No ITS related supervising engineer to supervise ITS projects
Capacity building and
provide specification requirement for ITS supervising engineer
Existing ITS System refuse to allow new equipment to connect
Open data transmission protocol and specify integration requirement

25. China Experiences Wuhan Experience Learned
Separate agencies mange various modules without standardization or interoperability and data or information sharing has been limited
Unified data / resource sharing platform and build up data center.
Data capture ( variety of sensors / monitoring equipment ) analytical tools and techniques for handling big data and cloud computing to facilitate the more effective and efficient sharing of information.
Integration of the existing system
Open data transmission protocol
Lack of support and decision-making from the Government
Identify and work with a “Champion” e.g. : mayor, city council chairperson and minister

29. China Experiences Urumqi Experience Learned
Limited coverage of information services and insufficient means of information release
Make good use of data dissemination using Internet multimedia, mobile and WeChat / WhatsApp
Compiling the well defined data format code, Establish coverage area and go through the data collection
Data collection is not city wide coverage
Provide real time information for next arrival time and frequency.
Improve the sensitivity of IC card reader to realize insulated swiping and implement different fare for short trip and transfer.
ITS design not satisfying gender – based travel requirements
