Clever Devices, founded in 1987 and headquartered in New York, is a leading provider of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) for public transit agencies. Its solutions are designed to improve fleet efficiency, passenger experience, and operational safety across bus, rail, and paratransit services. The company offers a suite of products including CAD/AVL (Computer-Aided Dispatch/Automatic Vehicle Location), real-time passenger information systems, fare collection integration, and safety monitoring tools. These systems allow agencies to track vehicles, optimize schedules, and provide riders with accurate arrival times. A key differentiator of Clever Devices is its focus on public transit-specific workflows. Unlike generic fleet management platforms, Clever Devices integrates deeply with transit operations, offering features like headway management, automated stop announcements, and ADA compliance tools. Its BusTime® and CleverCAD® platforms are widely adopted by major transit agencies in North America. Clever Devices emphasizes data-driven decision-making. Its analytics dashboards provide insights into ridership trends, service reliability, and vehicle performance. Agencies can use this data to improve service planning, reduce costs, and enhance customer satisfaction.
