Depot Management System PSItraffic/DMS optimizes processes in the depot
Berlin, December 18, 2024 – OVAG Oberbergische Verkehrsgesellschaft mbH has awarded PSI Transcom GmbH to implement the PSItraffic/DMS Depot Management System for the Gummersbach depot with around 80 vehicles. The goal is to optimize and partially automate the operational processes in the depot and to document them comprehensively.
PSItraffic/DMS will take on central functions, including vehicle parking space detection, automatic dispatching and monitoring service, supply and workshop processes. In addition, all operations will be made transparent through comprehensive documentation and reporting features. Vehicle locations are recorded both by the DMS and by employees' mobile devices. This enables precise location logging of the buses on the depot premises at all times.
The main objectives of the project are to optimize operations, deploy vehicles efficiently and improve the integration of the existing system landscape, as well as to prepare for deployment planning and charging management for emission-free buses. The implementation of the Depot Management System is financed by the federal funding program “Model Projects to Strengthen Public Transport” of the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport.
With around 200 buses, OVAG operates over 50 bus routes in the entire Oberbergischer Kreis district. The company transports more than 16 million passengers per year and serves an area of approximately 1,200 square kilometers.
