To maximise the utilization of the disk space of the system, system data shall undergo a regular
housekeeping process. Housekeeping shall cover the files created by the CCC and the files relative to
each subsystem. Any outdated or invalid files shall be archived. Duplicated records in the database and
records where only the latest data need to be retained shall be merged and archived.
The system shall be able to backup and recover data according to different modes and periods of backup
required based on their criticality and data volume. The system shall have the functionality to backup
and recover all key data (usage data, system data) and files.
The service provider shall set up a Disaster Recovery System.

CCC Fleet Control


One of the principal roles of CCC shall be to control the bus fleet in real time. This system shall be
manned. Service provider shall train and provide staff for manning of the fleet control centre. This shall
include at least one supervisor and one fleet control executive per hundred buses in operations in any
given shift. Since operations are over a period of 16-18 hours, it is suggested that staff be recruited for at
least two shifts.
Visualisation of fleet in operations will be done in two main formats. The first shall be mapping of all
buses in operation on a GIS map. A full function GIS map shall be procured by the service provider for
the purpose of mapping (e.g., paid version of Google maps). System network shall be mapped as
directional lines. The map shall also indicate terminals, depots and other parking locations. CCC
executive can click on the terminal or depot to get statistics of buses at the terminal or depot. These
statistics shall be displayed in an independent column or a separate window. CCC executive will have
the option of establishing voice communication with terminal or depot staff from this window.
ITS - AVLS & PIS - Technical Specification for PMPML

The second, and the main interface window, shall be a simplified diagram of each route as a straight line.
Each route shall have two lines, one for up direction and the other for down direction, unless the route is
a circular route in which case it shall be shown as a loop. Stops on that route shall be marked and buses
under operations mapped on the route. Further each bus will be colour coded to show if it is on schedule,
ahead of schedule or behind schedule. Statistics of that route shall be available as a separate window (or
column on the right side) on the screen upon clicking the route line (e.g., number of buses deployed,
vehicles on time, ahead or behind schedule, average speed on route etc). CCC executive can also click on
the individual bus to know the statistics of the bus (bus number, driver name and code, bus operator
code, average speed, number of alerts sent etc) in a window. CCC executive will have options to send
predefined messages, custom messages, or establish voice communication from this window.
Fleet control will have two components – automatic and manual intervention. Fleet control software shall
monitor the buses in operation in real time. Buses on any given route are expected to have even headway
(distance expressed as time between two buses of the same route). If any bus on a given route goes
beyond its schedule by a predefined percentage of the headway on that route (e.g., more than 10% of the
assigned headway of 10min), then fleet control software shall send an automatic alert to the bus to slow
down. Similarly, if a bus on a given route is behind schedule by a predefined percentage of the headway
on that route (e.g., 20% behind the assigned headway), an alert shall be sent to the driver to speed up. A
log of all alerts sent to the driver shall be kept in the system and shall be readily accessible to the CCC
executive managing buses on that route. A repeat alert shall be sent to the driver after a predefined
period (e.g., 10 min) if the bus is still ahead or behind schedule. After a predefined number of alerts sent
to a driver for the same issue (e.g., 3 alerts sent to slow down) and the vehicle still is ahead or behind
schedule, then an alert shall be sent to CCC executive to manually intervene and send either a text
message or as a last resort, establish voice communication with driver to sort out the issue. A log of all
alerts and communication between CCC and buses shall be maintained.
CCC executive will also have the option to key in the bus number to get status in case it is not in
operation. A separate window shall show all buses not in operation or ones which may be in operation
but have faulty tracking or PIS equipment. CCC executive will send appropriate message to maintenance
department for faulty equipment to be fixed within MTTR. An online log of faulty equipment and
