How does the bus actually drive itself? A look behind the scenes at Nuremberg's public transport company. 

 

Franziska Schmidt, Benjamin Miller and Marco Spies from VAG (Nuremberg's public transport company) offer fascinating insights into the IT systems of the transport company and take you on an interactive journey through the daily life of a passenger. They explain the complex interplay of digital systems that takes place in the background while our passenger relaxes and enjoys a ride into the city on the number 36 bus. 

 

Using a vivid story, you'll follow a bus journey from beginning to end: boarding the bus and seeing the onboard computer, the heart of every trip. Here, the vehicle registers its route and route, and initial target, actual, and forecast data are generated. 

 

Along the way, you'll experience a typical everyday scene: cars are at a standstill, everything is blocked, but our passenger's bus keeps going. You'll learn how the dispatchers in the control center and IT systems work together in real time and how precise forecasts are created when there are deviations from the timetable. 

 

Passenger information is also covered: How do disruption alerts get displayed on the information boards? 

 

Just as you compare your times, distances, or progress in sports to improve, VAG also analyzes its performance data. You'll learn how these analyses help to adjust the timetable and improve operations step by step.
