Equans Wins a Landmark Contract with the City of Brampton to Improve the User Experience and Deploy Innovative SAEIV Technology Across Its Entire Bus Network
Ineo Systrans, a division of Equans France and a global leader in Operations Support and Passenger Information Systems (SAEIV), has been selected by Brampton Transit to modernize its entire bus fleet using its NAVINEO solution. Brampton, one of Canada’s fastest-growing major cities, with a population of 700,000 and more than 90,000 businesses, is a leader in the electrification of its public transit fleet. By improving the quality of service on its 475 buses—which will serve more than 31 million passengers in 2022 across 70 fixed routes— the City of Brampton is at the forefront of technological and environmental innovation and is promoting the development of safer, more sustainable, and more accessible mobility.
Signed in June 2023, the contract calls for the complete replacement of Brampton Transit’s current system for its fixed-route services—including the central system, onboard components, communications, and passenger information—with the latest intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technologies. Equans will supply its new NAVINEO Operations Support and Passenger Information System—which includes a passenger count display—as well as its Smart Yard Management module, which tracks the location of vehicles parked at the bus depot.
