The FlowOS dispatcher enables bus operators to issue automated real-time instructions to drivers that are designed to regulate vehicle occupancy and maximise the use of a vehicle's capacity along a route. FlowOS sends automated instructions to the driver of each vehicle in a fleet, in response to live occupancy data, the current location of each vehicle and the forecast number of passengers wanting to board at each stop.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
