In-bus experience,
made safer and smarter
Designed to support drivers at every turn.
Explore the solutionThe realities of the road every day
When situations change quickly, drivers need to stay in control. Real-time communication and built-in safety features help them respond faster and keep services moving. With Trapeze, operators can support drivers on the road and deliver a safer, more reliable bus service.
When the picture on the ground
isn’t clear
A connected platform across every bus
When safety is on the line, every second counts
Without live visibility from onboard CCTV and direct communication, control teams are left trying to piece events together. Drivers are forced to manage incidents on their own while control tries to catch up, slowing response when it matters most.
By the time the full picture is clear, it’s too late to step in.
Next-level arrival time prediction
Real-time vehicle position
Each bus continuously sends its location, speed and progress back to the system. This gives a live view of where every bus is and how it is performing across the network.
Route progress monitoring
The system tracks how far each bus has travelled along its route and how much distance remains. This is used to calculate how long it will take to reach upcoming stops.
Historical travel time analysis
Past journey data is used to understand how long different parts of a route typically take, including peak periods, quieter times and seasonal changes.
Adaptive prediction algorithms
Arrival times are calculated using a combination of live vehicle data, recent journey conditions, historical patterns and timetable data. These inputs are continuously balanced to maintain accuracy as conditions change.
Integration with traffic information systems
Traffic conditions, incidents and roadworks can be fed into the system to adjust predictions in real time, helping reflect delays as they happen.
Continuous prediction updates
As buses move, arrival times are constantly recalculated and updated across all passenger information channels, ensuring the latest information is always shown.

One system for every journey
Driver display and controls
A single screen in the bus shows routes, timing, next stops and messages from the control centre. So drivers see how they’re running against the timetable in one place.
Passenger information on board
Screens and audio on the bus share next stops, route updates and journey information as the service runs.
Driver and control centre communication
Drivers and control can message or speak directly, so delays, incidents and route changes are handled as they happen.
Automatic stop announcements
Stops are announced automatically based on the bus location, without the driver needing to do anything.
Bus tracking and data feed
Each bus sends its location to the control centre, so teams can track it against the timetable.
Passenger counting and load data
Sensors track how many passengers board through each door, so operators can see when buses are full or overloaded and spot fare evasion.
What authorities say
Hochbahn wishes to noticeably improve the quality of local public transport for customers by means of drastically improved passenger information and sustained transfer protection. The positive reactions of passengers show that we're on the right track.
