GCC GPS-Based Trip Analysis for Validating Bus Route Performance

Accurate route distance and trip timing data are critical for public transport planning. Chartr's GCC GPS-based analysis framework validates this data using real-world trip evidence.

GPS recording begins automatically on the ETM when a trip starts. If connectivity is available, data is synced in near real time. If offline, GPS points are stored on the device and synced later, ensuring complete trip trails.

In parallel, live bus GPS feeds are captured independently. For each trip, distance and duration are computed separately using ETM GPS and live GPS data. These are then compared against static route distance and expected trip time.

By analyzing this data across multiple days and repeated trips, inconsistencies in static route configuration can be identified with high confidence. Dashboards allow operators to audit trips visually, inspect GPS trails, and compare expected versus actual performance.

All tools used in this process are built entirely in-house and do not rely on licensed software, paid APIs, or subscriptions, ensuring full ownership and cost efficiency.
