Trapeze UK Introduces Video Route Driver Training SystemSolution helps to improve the passenger experience and reduce operational costs. MANCHESTER, ENGLAND, January 29, 2007 — Trapeze UK today announced the availability of a video route driver training system called Trapeze VRT designed to improve the passenger experience to help local authorities, commercial bus operators and community transport providers decrease operational costs. Using recorded route footage combined with mapping and audio training commentary, Trapeze VRT facilitates route learning for new drivers as well as existing drivers who need to cover new routes on short notice. All three elements are displayed to the driver via a standard PC allowing the driver to interact with the program as per his or her training requirement. Drivers can study routes or particular difficult sections, improving their route knowledge and hazard awareness before getting behind the wheel. Should any of the routes change or detours occur; new information can be relayed to the drivers quickly and easily. The solution can also be extended to provide in-vehicle training by measuring the acceleration, braking, fuel consumption and speed of drivers compared to the results of an ‘expert’ driver. “By analysing driving patterns and teaching fuel efficient driving techniques transport organisations can not only decrease fuel costs but also improve the passenger experience through providing a smoother journey,” said Simon Parmar, managing director, Trapeze UK. The VRT system is already in use at several transportation organisations across the United Kingdom. Agencies interested in a demonstration of the technology or learning more about Trapeze solutions should contact their account manager or visit www.trapezegroup.co.uk. Free educational Webinars on the video driver route training system will commence in Spring 2007.
