Innovation - information technology

Investing for London

Committed to London’s bus users, Metroline continually aims to reduce the variability of passenger waiting times and bus journey times. To ensure that we meet this challenge on a daily basis for all our passengers, we developed a system giving both drivers and service controllers an opportunity to be directly involved in the control of the route; working together to develop a better service.

Intelligent Route Information System (iRIS)

iRIS required a considerable investment in technology from Metroline. The resulting state of the art system uses GPS and GPRS mobile communications technology to track buses, inform drivers of their position in relation to other buses on the route and provide automated intelligent control messages to drivers. In 2004, iRIS won an award for technological innovation at both the London Transport Awards and National Transport Awards.

Empowering our staff

iRIS puts service control at the core of the system and empowers all our staff to optimise service reliability for passengers. It also has the potential to provide excellent passenger information as a valuable by-product.
