In cities across the globe, public transportation agencies face a common challenge: keeping increasingly complex transit systems running smoothly, safely and sustainably. They must do this amid growing demands for better maintenance and reliability. The good news is it’s all possible with modern transit asset management.
The need for a real-time view
Complex infrastructure, siloed data, disconnected systems and increasing maintenance costs create significant hurdles. Without a unified, real-time view of systems, it becomes difficult for public transit companies. They need to be able to prioritize tasks, coordinate maintenance and make informed decisions. All these things are necessary to improve efficiency and service.
With a modern transit asset management solution, a transit company can cut through the chaos. It can bring various systems together, visualizing its whole network in real time. That enables informed decision-making every day.
Let’s explore HxGN Mass Transit
A smarter way to move cities, HxGN Mass Transit is Hexagon’s purpose-built digital platform. It redefines how public transportation agencies manage infrastructure and work processes. By integrating spatial and asset data into one intelligent system, it creates a centralized, always up-to-date map-centric view of the entire transit network. That includes everything from stations and switches to signage and ticket machines.
Its modular design, advanced analytics and 2D/3D capabilities enable agencies to not only respond to issues, but also to anticipate them. This streamlines workflows, optimizes maintenance. Ultimately, it leads to more reliable, cost-effective service.
