WorkingVendor case study

Problem

Bus breakdowns hurt service reliability for SBS Transit, part of ComfortDelGro. Technicians wanted to find faults before they stopped a bus.

Approach

SBS Transit used Stratio's AI and machine learning condition-monitoring system, which tracks more than 200 vehicle parameters such as brakes, electrical systems and fluid levels and warns technicians early. A pilot started on 1,000 buses in April 2022. In March 2024 the companies agreed to extend it to more than 3,000 SBS Transit buses, with air-conditioning fault prediction and battery monitoring on electric buses added.

Results

at least 20%reported drop in bus breakdowns in the 1,000-bus pilot, per StratioVendor case study[1]

Takeaway

The breakdown figure comes from the supplier and covers the 1,000-bus pilot. The fleet-wide rollout was still planned at the time of reporting.
