Optibus, the AI-powered software for planning and operating public transportation, today announced a major product launch that adds a new element to its end-to-end platform experience: **[Control & Monitoring](https://optibus.com/product/control-monitoring/),** the live operations solution of Optibus’ software.

Designed to give public transportation providers precision command over live service delivery and operations, Control is a modular cloud solution that combines real-time visibility with smart decision-making tools. The solution gives operations teams the tools needed to monitor and adapt services in the moment, leading to fewer service disruptions, improved regulatory compliance and on-time performance, and faster communication between the control center, drivers, and passengers. 

Seamlessly integrated with all Optibus products, Control strengthens Optibus’ position as the leading one-stop solution for all phases of public transportation service planning and delivery.  Control is also vendor-agnostic, able to connect seamlessly to in-vehicle systems, enabling real-time driver guidance, messaging, onboard passenger announcements, and safety features such as CCTV and emergency alerts.

*In Optibus Control, the Live Map View provides real-time visibility into live vehicle location and performance metrics.*

### **Smarter, Real-Time Control Operations**

Optibus Control is built for depot managers, dispatchers, and anyone in charge of running daily service. With Control, operations teams have full visibility into and control over real-time service delivery — in one place. The key benefits of Control include:

- **Real-Time Monitoring:** Give your control center live visibility into vehicle location, performance metrics, and service status, plus the tools to manage service disruptions in real time.
- **Driver Operations:** Manage and reassign crew duties and communicate with drivers in real time to keep services moving smoothly.
- **Compliance and Certification:** Reduce compliance-reliant administrative effort with audit-grade mileage certification and automatic documentation and reporting on service delivery versus service plans.
- **Passenger Communication:** Keep passengers informed with [real-time service announcements and alerts](https://optibus.com/product/passenger-information/) onboard the vehicle and across passenger information apps and displays.

Lightweight and flexible by design, Control is scalable to unique operational demands, be it deploying basic compliance features on a few vehicles or running a full-scale control center for a large fleet. Leveraging Optibus’ cloud-native architecture, operators enjoy regular product updates, easy installations, minimal maintenance, and costs that are up to 75% lower than legacy systems.

*With the addition of Optibus Control for real-time service monitoring, Optibus offers the most comprehensive one-stop solution for every phase of planning and operating public transportation networks.* 

### **A Fully Integrated, End-to-End Experience**

Control seamlessly integrates with the rest of the Optibus platform - including **Planning, Scheduling, Operations, and Passenger Information** - introducing new product synergies and ensuring that plans, schedules, and day-of operations are always connected and consistent. Optibus' end-to-end platform play supports public transportation providers throughout service management:

1. In **Planning**, planners design services - including routes, stops, frequencies, and timetables - to meet passenger demand and policy goals.
2. In **Scheduling and Rostering**, schedulers turn plans into executable vehicle and crew schedules that account for operational constraints, labor rules, and cost-efficiency.
3. In **Operations**, dispatchers manage daily service execution, including assigning vehicles and drivers, handling exceptions, and adapting to real-world disruptions.
4. In **Control**, controllers oversee live service delivery by monitoring vehicle locations and performance, responding in real time, and ensuring service reliability.
5. Optibus’ **Passenger Information** offerings dispatch live service updates based on Control insights.
6. When it comes time for **compliance and performance evaluation**, Control holds all the information needed for accurate reporting.
7. With real-time service insights instantly accessible within Operations and feeding back into Planning, Optibus creates a **continuous feedback loop** that improves service quality and responsiveness over time.

These powerful synergies enable operators to manage all stages, datapoints, and decisions involved in the service lifecycle in one place, creating a unified experience for end-to-end service planning and management.

 

**Amos Haggiag, CEO and co-founder of Optibus, said:**

“Control delivers on Optibus’ mission to build a fully unified platform for public transportation management. Through continuous feedback between planning and real-time operations, we’re enabling operators to plan and deliver better transportation networks—faster. It’s a major step forward in transforming service delivery and the passenger experience.”
