TriMet’s Transit Tracker System gives customers up-to-the-minute information on the departures and arrivals of trains and buses, using data generated by TriMet’s new satellite-based GPS for buses and from data generated by ground sensors located along the train rails for trains. The system collects signals emitted from beacons aboard every train and bus, which are then sent via the network to TriMet’s boarding platforms, phone- and web-based information systems. NetScout’s nGenius solution monitors this time-sensitive information so it can be efficiently and successfully routed throughout the network to TriMet’s real-time information systems.
