Introduction: ITS Benefits

• Real Time Information about bus arrival and departure

• Reduction in waiting time for passengers

• Increase in patronage to Public Transport System

• Reduction in traffic congestion

• Improvement in efficiency of traffic operations

• Improvement in environmental quality

• Reduction in fuel consumption

• Improvement in economic activity

Implementation Challenges

• Introduction of ITS in KSRTC for the first time

• Lack of domain knowledge and dependence on consultants

• Multi-level monitoring, co-ordination and correspondences –Management, State, MoUD, PMU, World Bank, Consultants, Evaluation

Committee, Mysore City Administration, Vendors etc.

• World Bank Procurement Practices – Goods & Services,

Consultancy Services

• Financial Management – Different funding agencies, JnNURM and GEF,

Formalities, Utilization Certificates, Auditing Norms, Fund Flows etc.

• Infrastructural Assistance – Bus Shelters and CCS.

Implementation Challenges

• Global Tender as per World Bank Procurement Guidelines –

Pre-bid conference, evaluation of bids

• RFP for Consultancy Services – PMC, M&E, CSOA

• Acceptance by Bus Drivers - Drivers will be under severe scrutiny

• Meeting Commuter Expectations – Real Time PIS Display, SMS

queries, Commuter friendly website, Help Desk Management etc.

• Oversight of Solution Provider

• ‘Just Do It’ Culture

• Synchronising Technology and Consultancy domains

Implementation Challenges

•Documentation by Solution Provider with justifications

• Detailed Site Survey

• Project Implementation Plan

• Design Calculations (Power, Communication Bandwidth etc)

• SRS and SRS v/s RFP Mapping

• CCS Layout

• Test Plans and FAT for VMU, PIS and System Software

• ETA Algorithm

• GIS Mapping

• Third Party Contracts – DRS, GSM, GIS

Implementation Challenges- Approach• Building Knowledge Base - In-depth study, thread-bear discussions,

consultations

• Multi-lateral Co-ordination - City Administration, PMU, WB, Consultants,

State Govt. etc.

• Acquaintance with WB Procedures – Finance, Procurement

• Team Work – RFP preparation, handling Pre-bid queries, Evaluation and

Contract Awarding, Project implementation etc.

• Detailed Project Planning and Documentation

• Sound Management Review Techniques – Weekly Meetings,

Monthly Steering Committee Meetings, Field visits, Adhoc meetings, consultations

with PMC etc.

• Comprehensive Training Program

Training Curriculum Plan

Implementation Challenges- ApproachAn illustration of VMU Testing

There are a total of 46 tests identified for VMU as per RFP provisions

Sl

Factory /

Field TestTest Procedure Expected Output Reference

1 Vibration and Shock ResistanceFactory

Test

These tests are conducted at Environmental Test Laboratory,

Systems & Quality Assurance Group, ECIL, Hyderabad.

Certificate Attached.

ECIL is a Govt. of India

recognized test lab for

certifying the productSRS 12.1.1

2

VMU software should be

upgradable/ configurable over the

air (OTA).

Field Test

• CCS will send a command about application patch file

containing the changed configuration (refresh rate of the

screen for e.g.)

• After successful receipt of the patch file information by VMU

• VMU logs into server to download the file

• After receiving the file, VMU resets itself and reboots. The

effect of patch can be verified.

The new patch is

updated in VMU

3 Drop Test Field Test Drop the VMU from 1 m height on either face

The VMU and its any of

the part should not be

damaged

Lessons Learnt• Acquaintance with World Bank Procurement Procedures

• Identification and Construction of bus shelters in time

• Ensuring power supply at bus shelters

• Placement of PMC and M&E services in time

• Exposure to the crew about the system in advance

• Location and designing of CCS

• Budgeting of project components should have practical approach

• Value of detailed implementation plan and in-depth

documentation
