Keeping an eye on operations and the fleet

Operations Control / Control Centre

Public transport providers must provide passengers with reliable information and good service — while operating efficiently. To achieve this, the control centre needs a complete, real‑time overview of all operations in order to detect and resolve disruptions quickly.

This is where ebblo’s ITCS solutions come in:

They improve punctuality, shorten travel times, secure connections and enable dynamic real‑time passenger information. Our flexible systems support dispatchers, drivers and depot staff — while ensuring passengers stay reliably informed. Features such as traffic light preemption and connection protection help ensure people reach their destinations quickly and safely.

With our state‑of‑the‑art ITCS solutions, we simplify complex processes, increase efficiency and provide the foundation for modern, sustainable operations management. Whether buses, trams or mixed fleets — ebblo is your partner for intelligent, future‑proof operations.

ebblo LIO: Control, Inform, Organise

The Intermodal Transport Control System LIO (Control, Inform, Organise) from ebblo provides dispatchers with a continuous, real‑time overview of all operational processes. This enables them to quickly identify and resolve disruptions while optimising staff and vehicle deployment — increasing operational efficiency while keeping resource usage to a minimum.

With our control system, transport operators have their entire fleet in view at all times, regardless of the vehicles’ drive technology.

Display of current vehicle locations
Various communication modes, such as announcements and emergency calls
Control centre instructions to vehicles
Vehicle messages sent to the control centre
Data exchange via multiple radio technologies
Threshold alerts (e.g., schedule deviations)
Connection protection and monitoring
Display of vehicle occupancy
Automatic recording of all relevant data for reports and statistics
Incident management with LIO‑IDS
Vehicle log‑on and log‑off

Incident Management: Intelligent decision support in critical situations

Unforeseen events often create situations in the control centre where staff must make quick decisions. In these moments, operations and passenger information can be significantly improved when dispatchers can rely on predefined action plans and checklists.

LIO‑IDS provides several software modules for intelligent decision support, including the Incident Manager and the Workflow Manager. Thanks to its full integration into the ITCS, LIO‑IDS has access to all relevant operational data.

In the event of incidents or similar disruptions, LIO not only displays operational information — it also intelligently suggests the correct next steps based on the specific situation. An incident remains visible in the system until all predefined actions have been completed.
