With the recovery of global tourism, continued urbanization, the accelerating shift toward green and low-carbon public transportation, and the transportation industry's urgent need to enhance operational efficiency and safety, the bus management market is undergoing structural transformation and rapid growth. As one of Latin America's most strictly regulated countries in traffic management, Chile's increasingly stringent policy compliance requirements in recent years, coupled with rising safety operation standards, have jointly driven the rapid expansion and upgrading of demand for digital fleet management solutions in the commercial vehicle sector.
Sim, Chile's leading fleet management service provider, has introduced an innovative Bus Fleet and Personnel Management Solution, offering comprehensive digital operational support to transportation enterprises. In 2024, Sim successfully deployed an intelligent management system for a major local transport company, covering over 700 buses. This system enables real-time vehicle status monitoring, precise personnel identification, and comprehensive operational safety assurance through advanced technologies. The solution integrates Think Power's HAWK CAN smart device, CAN data acquisition equipment, and QR scanners, combined with Sim's proprietary software service platform, to establish a complete digital management system.
The TE604E + CAN Box + QR Scanner solution addresses the following core needs of bus fleets:
1. Vehicle Safety and Status Monitoring
By leveraging HAWK CAN + CAN Box hardware to collect real-time vehicle CAN bus data (e.g., speed, fuel consumption, fault codes) and integrating GPS tracking, it ensures transparent monitoring of vehicle operating conditions, enabling timely anomaly detection and maintenance.
2. Personnel Identity and Safety Management
The QR scanner identifies driver and passenger identity information via QR codes, binding personnel records to specific vehicles. This prevents unauthorized operations or boarding, enhancing overall safety.
3. Fleet Operational Efficiency Optimization
By consolidating vehicle data and personnel information, it helps customers optimize vehicle dispatching, improve maintenance planning, and ensure compliance management (e.g., driver working hours, passenger manifests)
