Intelligent Transporation System
Intelligent Transporation System
Signals, buses, fares aand cameras working as one connected network.
An Intelligent Transportation System integrates discrete municipal transport components into a unified operational network. Traffic signals, transit vehicles, fare collection terminals, surveillance systems, and control centers transmit continuous data to a centralized platform. This platform processes the intelligence to optimize traffic flow and ensure strict schedule adherence.
Practical application ensures absolute operational reliability across the grid. Traffic signals automatically extend green phases for approaching transit vehicles. Passengers execute seamless digital payments. Public displays provide exact arrival metrics. Control centers detect operational anomalies immediately. This functional architecture requires precise equipment, accurate data collection, and rigorous system integration.
- Signals
- Traffic signals extend green phases for approaching transit vehicles.
- Fares
- Passengers pay by card, QR or mobile, with every transaction settled centrally.
- Information
- Station and on-board displays show live arrival predictions.
- Control
- The control center sees every vehicle, station and device in real time.
- Assets
- Every device is registered, monitored and maintained against agreed service levels.
One Platform for the Whole Network
An intelligent transportation system brings fare collection, fleet management, passenger information, surveillance and traffic control onto a single operational platform, monitored and managed from one control center.
TAP designs these systems around the way authorities and operators actually run a network, and builds the core software in-house so every platform shares the same records, the same rules and the same interfaces.

Questionnaire
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from transport authorities and operators about TAP’s ITS portfolio.
What does TAP provide for Intelligent Transportation Systems?
An Intelligent Transportation System integrates discrete municipal transport components into a unified operational network. Traffic signals, transit vehicles, fare collection terminals, surveillance systems, and control centers transmit continuous data to a centralized platform. This platform processes the intelligence to optimize traffic flow and ensure strict schedule adherence.
Is TAP's software developed in-house?
Yes. TAP has developed its own suite of indigenous platforms and applications for public transport: the AFC Central System, Bus Scheduling System, Fault / SLA Management System, Complaint Management System, Asset Management System, AFC Mobile App, Journey Planner, POS Application, Fare Validator Application and Driver Console App. They are designed to work together as one connected system.
Which types of transport operation is the system designed for?
BRT corridors, metro, urban bus networks, feeder services, mixed-traffic bus operations and multi-route networks. It suits a single corridor as well as a large network with many routes, stations and terminals.
What fare structures can be configured?
Flat, distance-based, zone-based and route-based fares; passenger categories and concessionary fares; time-based products; single-journey and multi-journey products; stored-value products; and promotional or special fares. Fares and products are managed centrally, so they can change as transport policy changes.
How does TAP protect fare revenue?
Every fare transaction is captured centrally. Operators get hourly and daily revenue reports, transaction-level records, station, route and device-wise analysis, collection and settlement information, exception and discrepancy detection, revenue reconciliation and full audit trails.
How are faults and SLAs managed?
Through TAP’s Fault / SLA Management System. Every fault is tracked from detection to closure, linked to the affected asset, prioritised as critical, major or minor, and escalated automatically when it approaches its SLA limit. Dashboards and reports show SLA compliance, response and resolution times, and contractor performance.
Can TAP's platforms connect with existing systems?
Yes. The platforms integrate with each other and with existing transport infrastructure through API, interface and database integration, so fare, schedule, passenger information, fault and asset data move between systems instead of sitting in separate silos.
What does Operations & Maintenance cover?
Preventive and corrective maintenance, technical support, troubleshooting, software support, equipment replacement and the ongoing operation of the integrated ITS infrastructure, measured against agreed service levels.
