GPS Dispatching System for a Bus Group in a Northwest City

Background

The Bus Group in the northwest region is the only state-owned enterprise in urban public transportation in the city. The company currently operates more than 1,600 vehicles which cover more than 100 routes. Under the broad guidelines of the city's "bus priority" project, the company continuously pushes the development of buses towards standardization, technology, and branding. The company aims to promote rapid development of public transportation and accelerate the construction of smart public transportation in the city.

Client Demands

To ensure the smooth travel of large groups of people in the core area and rationalize the transportation capacities, the bus group must construct a GPS bus dispatching system to monitor and dynamically dispatch current vehicles, routes, and trips, and comprehend the pressure of vehicle traffic in real time. The system's demands for the base platform are as follows:

The platform is stable and reliable to prevent system breakdowns brought about by hardware failure and to guarantee regular access to and transmission of all data (such as vehicle scheduling and stop sign display)

The processing performance is powerful during peak hours to ensure rapid response to concurrent access to a significant amount of data (such as vehicles arriving and departing the station, real-time positioning, and the number of vehicles on a certain route).

With high scalability, the platform can be easily docked with IC card/APP/Cloud Platform, and other system platforms, achieving data sharing and flow.

Protect key data timely to make data analysis and archiving easier.

H3C Solutions

High-performance HPE DL580 and DL380 servers are responsible for running the database and application services of the operation scheduling system respectively. This ensures the real-time processing and distribution of data.

Important data is stored in HPE 3PAR storage, which relies on its 99.9999% reliability, unique dual-chip design, and other technologies to ensure fast and stable data access.

Utilize HPE StoreOnce disk backup system to quickly back up and restore important data, realize the offline storage of important data, and enhance data security level.

Values

The high-performance platform ensures the real-time processing and zero-latency release of dispatching information.

The powerful processing capacity, smart performance optimization, and other features of the HPE DL580 server ensure the rapid processing, analysis, and release of the vehicle dispatching information.

The ASIC chip and underlying virtualization technology of the HPE 3PAR storage enable the storage to support simultaneous access of tens of thousands pieces of data per second. This can easily cope with the concurrent access to data by the dispatching platform.

The platform is stable and reliable, which ensures continuous system operation and data security.

The advanced RAS features ensure the stability of the server, making the scheduling platform more reliable and enabling two years of operation without failures.

Important data can be safely stored on storage with 99.9999% reliability and data protection capabilities.

Utilize HPE StoreOnce to enable "flash backup," which can quickly back up and restore key data and enhance the level of unified data services for data security.

Perfectly dock with other system platforms

Based on advanced technologies and the totally open performance, the platform can be easily docked with the IC card/APP platform to enable the sharing and unified management of data.

As for the management and use purposes, the platform reserves interfaces for future access to the DTCHUXING platform in the future.
