About Passio Navigator

Passio Navigator is a navigation software from Passio Technologies designed for public transit systems. It provides real-time tracking, route planning, and accessibility features so users can effectively navigate public transportation options. This software specifically assists passengers in locating nearby transit options, understanding wait times, and accessing routes suitable for individuals with disabilities. Passio Navigator also integrates with existing transit systems, allowing for easy updates and system scalability. Key capabilities: real-time tracking route planning accessibility features transit system integration user-friendly interface Best for: public transit authorities that need to provide accurate navigation information to riders.

Passio's Navigator solution is designed to foster efficient, proactive, and safe transit operations by integrating essential fleet visibility with driver communications. The system’s core purpose is two-fold: providing operators with Computer Aided Dispatch tools for safely running routes, including direct two-way communication with central dispatch; and using Automatic Vehicle Location to track and record vehicle positions in real time. This combined approach is supported by a comprehensive real-time communications system featuring headway spacing, on-time alerts, emergency notifications, and re-routing detour capability, ensuring central operations has the necessary visibility and control to maintain high-quality service delivery. The deployment model utilizes the Passio MDT, an Android-based, rugged, and touchscreen Mobile Data Terminal which serves as the central on-vehicle interface. This single-connection device is modular and swappable, natively integrating with various onboard components such as Automatic Passenger Counters (APCs), destination signs, backup cameras, and ECU data via protocols like J1708/1939 and CAN. Connectivity is robust, relying on GPS and Cellular technology for real-time data transmission.
