BIAS - A NEW GENERATION OF URBAN MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL SYSTEM

As part of a £30m public transport priority project Glasgow is implementing a Bus Information And Signalling (BIAS) system involving over 300 signal sites and 460 buses. BIAS is challenged to deliver key benefits for the project and then continue to monitor and support operation of the services thereafter. Consequently, BIAS aims to be a new generation of system capable of supporting a more integrated and effective approach to managing our urban networks. Using the UK's UTMC standards and the flexibility provided by the Common Database concept BIAS brings integrates traffic control and bus information/ management components with wider managerial tools.
