Automatic Passenger Counters (APC) Installation: Proposals should include the installation of 14 APCs on UGT’s fleet of 14 cutaway buses. System Requirements: The APC system must accurately count passengers boarding and alighting at each stop. The system should be capable of integration with existing software platforms, specifically Remix by Via and Swiftly. Proposals should include details on the necessary software required for the APC system to function properly. The APC system should be able to store and transmit data in real-time or as scheduled. Proposals should also detail the necessary grade of vehicle routers for the APC upgrade, including costs and recommendations for replacement if applicable. Provide detailed specifications for APC software that will enable UGT to retrieve, analyze, and report ridership data. Automatic Voice Announcements (AVA) Installation: Proposals should include the installation of AVA systems on the same fleet of buses as the APCs. System Requirements: The AVA system must provide clear and accurate voice announcements of bus stop names and any relevant information for passengers. The AVA system should be synchronized with the APC system to provide real-time information to passengers. Proposals should detail the software required for the AVA system, including how it integrates with the APC system to provide consistent, accurate information across platforms. The AVA system should be capable of being updated with new routes or changes to ensure that passengers always have the most current information.
