SAN DIEGO, Oct. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cubic
Corporation (NYSE: CUB) today announced its Cubic Transportation
Systems (CTS) business division is releasing the Cubic NextBus
next-generation platform to selected clients. This new platform
from NextBus, the leader in real-time passenger information (RTPI)
systems, is designed for multimodal transit agencies, authorities
and operators. It introduces a new Transit Management as a Service
(TMaaS) model utilizing latest technologies including public cloud
architecture and machine learning capabilities for further enhanced
RTPI, proactive transit fleet operations and mobile user
experience.
NextBus RTPI provides a completely redesigned prediction
algorithm and system that enables flexible data sourcing, greater
accuracy and richer contextual information across more channels
than ever – including mobile, energy-conscious and high-resolution
displays at transit stations, bus stops and vehicles as well as
APIs with other applications. Based on the NextBus RPTI core
platform, planned new modules of the NextBus platform will deliver
greater customer experience fully integrated with journey planning,
intelligent information analytics and mobile payment capabilities.
"The next-generation NextBus platform is entirely new and built
from the ground up by combining NextBus' experience in RTPI with
Cubic's expertise in urban revenue management, systems integration
and turnkey services for transportation agencies," said
Matt Cole, president of Cubic
Transportation Systems. "Achieving this market launch milestone is
very gratifying for our entire team because it is the culmination
of a major commitment—and investment—made by Cubic over the last
two years to help move NextBus and its customers forward into the
future."
The next-generation NextBus platform will be demonstrated at the
American Public Transportation Association Annual Meeting &
EXPO on October 9–12 at the Georgia World Congress Center in
Atlanta. It will be available to
the broader NextBus customer base in 2018.
