The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) are employing the latest Clever Devices SmartBus™ technology to improve service along 34th Street in Manhattan. Clever Devices is demonstrating their SmartBus™ technology on 30 MTA buses running on the M34 and M16 routes. SmartBus™ improves accessibility and enhances rider comfort and convenience by providing next stop announcements on vehicles as well as real-time arrival information at eight bus shelters.

Progress continues as 19 additional bus routes will be added to CTA’s Bus Tracker web site on Monday, April 20. The popular bus service tool provides customers with estimated bus arrival times and real-time service information. When the additional routes are activated, a total of 129 of CTA’s 153 bus routes will be part of the Bus Tracker service.

The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) has deployed Clever Devices' maintenance and operations decision support solution that continuously measures, monitors, and reports the status of critical systems and components of the fleet. AVM™2 seamlessly integrates all on-vehicle systems providing a single, common source of diagnostic information.

Clever Devices', innovative real-time solution to an age old problem makes accurate arrival time prediction accessible to mobile devices and on the web, empowering riders and greatly increasing the appeal of public transportation.

The CTA's fleet of 2600 busses has Clever Devices' Automatic Vehicle Annunciation (AVA) installed on their vehicles. This ADA compliant automated product uses our GPS–based navigation technology; AVA making the CTA’s system more accessible by providing accurate and clear audio and visual announcements for every stop and route.

The Chicago Transit Authority adopts the use of Clever Devices AVM™2. This advanced technology monitors their fleet by utilizing state-of-the-art automation. It reports vital information such as engine emissions, tire pressure, fluid levels and other standard vehicle maintenance stats to the garage via wireless communications. This, in turn, results in more safe vehicles on the street and extended vehicle life.

The Chicago Transit Board today approved three contracts totaling $24.1 million that allows CTA to expand the Bus Tracker program to all 154 bus routes. The contracts with Clever Devices, IBM and Sprint/Nextel provide for the purchase and installation of hardware and system upgrades needed in order for the program to be functional on CTA’s entire bus fleet.

The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) is joining transit systems in Baltimore, Cleveland, and Salt Lake City in testing new technology designed to help bus drivers avoid collisions.

If you are one of the 930,000 daily Chicago bus riders, you've experienced bunching. When buses on the same route fail to stay evenly spaced, they caravan together, leaving frustrated commuters waiting at stops or empty buses running one behind another.

Any CTA customer who has a computer or a wireless device with Internet access soon will be able to find out using technology that the agency's board decided Monday to install on all of its buses. A bus-tracking experiment that began in August 2006 on the No. 20 Madison route will be expanded systemwide, providing real-time bus-arrival information that should help commuters reduce their waiting times.

CARTA is moving to implement its long-planned Smartbus program that includes automatic vehicle locating via a global positioning system and an automatic vehicle management system, Executive Director Tom Dugan said. A contract has been awarded to Clever Devices as the prime contractor for the project.
