Nirdeshak: Vehicle Tracking System
Vehicle Tracking System for State Transport Corporation

Business Case

State Transport Corporation (STC) is the largest road transport undertaking in the country. Using the GPS-based Nirdeshak, the Corporation monitors many of its long-distance, inter-city routes as well as one of its most important intra-city routes, as a part of the project.

Background

Being India’s largest road transport undertaking with a huge fleet of buses to be managed was a huge challenge for STC. It was not possible to monitor the status of the buses or their unauthorised halts. To add to this, there were many complaints regarding the modus operandi. This caused enormous business loss to the exchequer resulting in losing the business to privately-owned vehicles.

CMC’s Solution

Based on its flagship solution ‘Nirdeshak, CMC implemented GPS-based Fleet Tracking System which uses SMS messaging (GSM mobile phones) for real-time data transfer between the buses and the Central Control Station (CCS). There are large displays at key towns en route for the benefit of passengers. The bus station displays are interfaced with the CCS, using dial-up links. Apart from its position and other features, even the availability of seats inside the bus before its arrival at the specified stop can be displayed. The project is under execution.

Benefits to Customer

	Increase in utilisation of vehicles

	Increase in productivity
	Fewer customer complaints
	Increase in business
