Case Study: South America Bus Company achieves smart ticketing and real-time fleet management with Advantech

Upgrading City Buses with Smart Ticketing and Fleet Management Systems

South America Bus Company, one of the region’s largest operators with an estimated six thousand buses serving 150 million people annually, needed a full-scale upgrade for on-board ticketing and intelligent fleet management to support its expansion. They required rugged, long-life in-vehicle systems with wide-temperature and anti-vibration design, 3G/LTE and GPS connectivity, real-time vehicle and engine monitoring, and fast 24/7 local support — and engaged Advantech to deliver the solution (notably the ARK-2250V and Advantech’s WISE-PaaS software).

Advantech deployed its ARK-2250V fanless in-vehicle computers (with ignition power management, wide DC input, shock/vibration certification, camera ports and GPS/3G/LTE support) together with WISE-PaaS/RMM and WISE-PaaS/Security for remote monitoring and protection. The implementation enabled real-time GPS fleet tracking, ticketing integration, vehicle-health monitoring (fuel, temperature, speed) and automatic detection of deviations (route changes, speeding, idling), delivering scalable operational visibility and faster incident response across the South America Bus Company’s fleet.
