Transport Architecture

Municipal Bus Fleets & Urban Transit Systems

Municipal transit authorities and private shuttle operators oversee hundreds of buses navigating dense city corridors. Colibri ingests real-time GPS, automated passenger counters (APC), and electric powertrain telematics to eliminate bus bunching and optimize depot charging.

The Fleet Operational Challenge

Unpredicted traffic bottlenecks cause bus bunching, leading to 20+ minute passenger wait times, overfilled vehicles, and uncoordinated depot battery depletion.

The Colibri Telematics Solution

Colibri correlates live GTFS-RT timetable feeds with vehicle CAN-bus data, dynamically adjusting target headway intervals and dispatching auxiliary shuttle relief before passenger overcrowding occurs.

Core Telematics & Operational Capabilities

Real-time GTFS-RT headway spacing and automated dispatch intervals
Automated passenger weight and occupancy sensor integration
Regenerative braking efficiency and battery state-of-charge forecasting
Depot intelligent fast-charge scheduling based on off-peak electricity tariffs

Hardware-Agnostic Telematics Layer

Connect any hardware dongle, CAN-bus protocol, or satellite transponder.

SAE J1939 & OBD-II

Direct parsing of vehicle controller area network (CAN-bus) frames without vendor lock-in or proprietary licensing costs.

Store-and-Forward Buffering

Vehicles traveling through remote mountain passes or tunnels buffer telemetry on edge flash storage and backfill without data loss upon reconnect.

Centimeter RTK Geofencing

Dual-band GNSS multi-constellation tracking provides precise boundary awareness for automated rail yard switching and airport taxi queue lanes.

Fleet Telematics Architecture Questions

Do we need to rip and replace our existing Samsara or Geotab hardware?

No. Colibri connects directly to Samsara Cloud, Geotab, Trimble, and OEM APIs via webhook streamers, normalizing telemetry alongside direct CAN-bus connections.

How is driver privacy and union labor agreement data protected?

Colibri supports role-based privacy masking, redacting personal driver identifiers and location history during non-operational off-duty hours.

Can Colibri trigger automated route dispatches directly into cab navigation?

Yes. Colibri integrates with Garmin, Android Automotive, and custom tablet in-cab dispatch units to push turn-by-turn navigation updates without manual driver interaction.
