PilotPad: Little helper, big effect

Vehicle breakdowns, detours, slippery roads, accidents – a public transport driver’s workday can hold many surprises. The tablet app developed by InnoTix for public transport operators aids fast and straightforward problem-solving, by delivering targeted informa­tion: an invaluable advantage while working on the go.

Idea

ilotPad is the interface to drivers of your public transport fleet. It puts all the necessary service-specific technical and operational information at their fingertips, all the time, whether they are online at the depot or offline and servicing their routes. An intuitive, easy-to-use app developed in cooperation with multiple public transport operators, this innovation runs on a hand-held tablet and provides major benefits to all staff.

Benefits

• Duty rosters always up to date.
• Quick, accurate communication of diver­sions, roadworks and breakdowns.
• Damage to vehicles easily recordable in digital form for forwarding to the mainte­nance department (including photos and more).
• Directives, messages and training docu­ments available at any time of day (also as instructional videos and e-learning).
• PilotPad supplies all this and more to drivers on their personal tablets. PilotPad is both en­joyable and motivational to use, and brings measurable benefits for all.
