Abstract

The present paper proposes a design of a collaborative platform for urban transport exploitation. The platform is built based on the combined use of web services and statistical analysis to have an integration of maintenance activities within the fleet operation. The solution is developed taking into consideration the available resources and infrastructure of a bus fleet operating in Praia city in Cape Verde. The target is the development of an e-platform for cooperative information of buses based transport system to improve the exploitation efficiency. The development of the paper, demonstrate the potential of the use of smart devices to aggregate the data, and interact with other physical objects/devices by the use of the telematics technology and internet of things, to support the improvement of bus fleet exploitation process.
