IVU.suite
E-mobility integrated
The future of mobility is electric. Transport operators face many challenges, such as determining power supply requirements, planning and building charging stations, adjusting vehicle workings to suit ranges, integrating charging times, monitoring the state of charge (SoC) and infrastructure, planning charging processes, dispatching in realtime and learning from the data.
IVU.suite maps all relevant operational processes for the deployment of electric buses, offering a suitable solution for every task. IVU.suite enables transport operators to achieve more. Across all process steps, they establish an entirely digital workflow for planning, deployment and operation of mixed bus fleets. From battery-powered electric buses to buses powered by combustion engines and all the way to fuel-cell buses, all necessary functions are provided in a single user interface – regardless of manufacturer. This makes the changeover easy, especially for operators with mixed fleets. We understand that transport operators’ tasks are as specific as the routes they operate, which is why IVU.suite contains everything that is required for successful operation of every vehicle type. One standard system for all – and equipped for future developments. On a daily basis, IVU.suite products help more than 500 transport operators worldwide to deploy tens of thousands of buses and trams efficiently, put employees in the right place at the right time, provide information to millions of passengers and settle traffic data.
Digital transformation –
moving forward with IT solutions
Load, charging and depot management in three steps
Optimum, reliable charging plans, economical, range-based charging, and automated processes to increase efficiency at the depot – IVU is helping transport operators move over to e-mobility in three steps. In this context, the integrated load, charging and depot management of IVU.suite helps to facilitate smooth parking and intelligent charging of electric buses as well as their next deployment.
The direct line to the charging station: The charging management system in IVU.suite creates the best possible charging plan for your vehicles that are arriving and need to be parked. The system controls and monitors your charging infrastructure, including the preconditioning of the passenger compartment, and takes the load limits of the infrastructure into account in the process.
The intelligent charging management of IVU.suite ensures that all electric buses are charged with the necessary amount of electricity for their next trip. In the process, a detailed power consumption forecast also incorporates factors such as weather, the number of passengers and the age and condition of the battery based on data measurements taken during operation.
Powerful algorithms automatically determine the optimum parking space and charging plan at the depot. In doing so, the system takes vehicle availability, vehicle types and services into account at all times, while the on-board computer and display inform bus drivers which parking space they should aim for. The direct connection between integrated load and charging management and the charging infrastructure ensures maximum efficiency.
E-ready right from the off
The end-to-end solution for e-mobility
The standard IVU system provides numerous functions for the efficient deployment of electric buses of all types right from the outset.
Optimisation drives efficiency –
Planning – Dispatch – Operation
Planning vehicle workings for electric buses and matching duties is a demanding task – deploying all resources properly and optimally poses a challenge.
But there is significant potential in this. Making vehicle and duty schedules just a few percent more efficient can save transport companies a lot of money. This applies in particular to electric bus or mixed fleets. IVU’s optimisation solutions help to overcome the complex requirements of different vehicle and drive types and extract the maximum from the available resources.
