VVO and DB: now real -time data available for buses and trains!

A step into the future of public transport: The Transport Association Oberelbe (VVO) now brings real-time timetable in cooperation with Deutsche Bahn AG (DB) for all users. As reports [diesachsen.de] (https://www.diesachsen.de/meissen-news/bahnene-beim-vo-jetz-mithe-mithe-ztzeitdat- 3031677), passengers can now not only view the regular timetable with the DB Navigator and the website Bahn.de, but also call up current data on roadways and buses in the VVO. Very hot tip for everyone who often changes: the new information helps whether connections are punctual or whether you should be an alternative connection. Before this innovation, delays and disorders were not taken into account in the DB app, which did not exactly play the traveler in the cards.

The technical requirements for this data exchange have been carefully developed in recent months by the Technik teams of VVO and DB AG. But that's not all: Now passengers who use the VVO media also see current data from the long-distance traffic of the DB, including the fast ICE and IC trains. A real gain for traveling in the region!

More information for each stop

In addition, passengers on popular routes such as from Dresden to Kamenz or from Heidenau to Altenberg benefit from the improved information. Not only are the latest timetables available to you, but the new monitors in the vehicles also show the connections to buses and trains including the current traffic situation.

The monitors have been modernized, with a new design, larger writing and strongly pronounced contrasts, which significantly increases user -friendliness. More and more passengers will appreciate that they are now being informed about possible changes in the timetable in advance, an innovation that is gold in view of today's mobility needs.

The technical background

The advantage of these new real -time data should not be underestimated. After all, they are based on the so-called actual data that take the current state of traffic into account. A computer-aided operating control system (RBL) creates forecasts about possible time deviations from the target timetable. This information is crucial to enable passengers to plan your trip reliable. Current disorders or disabilities are also registered and quickly passed on, which benefits working commuters in particular.

such as Future Network-oepnv.de illustrated, these real-time data are the central challenge and at the same time the opportunity for modern transport companies. The dynamic passenger information (DFI) flow over different channels in real time - both in the vehicles and at the stops are informed. So if you want to know more about your connections, you can get the information relevant to you at a glance through the simple user interface in the corresponding apps and on the website of the transport companies.

Who is behind it?

It is also important to know that the VVO does not have its own vehicles, but works with several transport companies. These include, for example, DB Regio AG and Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe AG (DVB), both of which are closely integrated into the new effusion of real -time data. This makes it easier for passengers to make the journey because they can bundle many options in one place. In addition, passengers can access additional offers such as rental bikes, scooters or parking spaces via the various mobility platforms.

This initiative shows how important it is to further develop the mobility culture in public transport and to respond to the needs of users. The new real -time information not only makes it easier, but also more pleasant to move in public transport. A step that is of great importance for the future of traffic in the region.
