GTT releases most advanced TSP solution to date:
modular, expandable Opticom CVP
ST. PAUL, MN – October 11, 2016
– Global Traffic Technologies announced
today the availability of Opticom
CVP, the company’s next-generation
transit optimization solution.
The Opticom CVP is built with
the same powerful and precise algorithms
used in Opticom hardwarecentric,
GPS-enabled solutions. The
new platform provides softwarebased
Transit Signal Priority (TSP),
schedule adherence, headway management
and other advanced capabilities,
helping to ensure transit vehicles
adhere to their published timetables.
With GTT’s most advanced solution
to date, agencies have the potential to
increase rider satisfaction while dramatically
reducing operating costs.
The platform also adds cloud-based
analytics for more control and insights.
GTT’s president Doug Roberts said
“the new Opticom CVP is a softwarecentric
platform that, combined with
new service and delivery options, is
designed to offer agencies maximum
flexibility with their implementation.
“The solution significantly reduces
implementation time,” Roberts said.
“This allows agencies to increase efficiency
and improve rider satisfaction
faster than conventional solutions.”
The CVP - like other transit solutions
from GTT - provides a compelling
and quick return on investment
for transit agencies by reducing fuel
and labour costs. Opticom TSP solutions
can even have the potential to
reduce fleet requirements.
“The Opticom Connected Vehicle
Platform is designed to empower
transit agencies,” Roberts said.
“Combining GTT’s industry-leading
Opticom TSP with built-in active
schedule and headway management
capabilities, the CVP helps keep transit
services on time and performing
optimally in order to minimize travel
times, increase predictability and improve
on-time metrics.”
In addition to the software-based
TSP, schedule and headway applications,
the Opticom CVP allows transit
managers to monitor and maintain
system performance from a central
location with cloud-based analytics
and reporting. Transit managers can
monitor such key metrics as on-time
performance, and dwell time and
travel time by vehicle or route. Users
can also assess and maintain system
performance and provide updates to
the system from anywhere with Internet
access using Opticom Centralized
Management Software (CMS).
The Opticom CVP is built to expand
as an agency’s needs grow. The
CVP offers multiple interface options
and allows additional applications to
5
be added as needed.
In cities that are already equipped
with Opticom for emergency vehicle
preemption, Opticom CVP can be
easily integrated to include service to
their transit fleets. Opticom CVP is
designed to support all variations of
Opticom TSP, including distributed
variants that use infrared and/or GPS
intersection infrastructure, centralized
architectures, and radio or cellbased
communications, including
DSRC.
The Opticom CVP solution is available
now from authorized GTT dealers.
