This is the new RIBAS system being fitted to buses at hyde road. It measures the acceleration, braking, speed that the bus is doing. The idea i am told is too see what routes are timed in such a way that the bus has to be driven in a swift manner. I'm sure drivers will be monitored and advised in due course too. This one is fitted to 17621 which we have on loan at the moment. We also have a b10 from stockport which is covering the taxi as 32048 is off for repair. What with this new monitoring system and the gps being applied soon, it won't be long before robots are driving the buses i think. Will be interesting to see what the 216 buses show up as on this system lol. Off the scale i'm sure.
Wow im glad i got out when i did,cameras everywhere,now Ribas,soon they will just bang an inspector on every bus !!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how these things will work when drivers are having to run dead/light (Whatever you call it these days) especially when Motorway is involved, I guess the overspeeding will be lit up all the time on the Motorway unless their taking this into account
ReplyDeleteI dont think anyone will hold back on travelling dead even off the motorway. normal rules dont apply in my opinion when the bus is empty. we will see
