Abstract
As urbanization increases, mobility becomes more complex and supposes a major challenge for public transportation authorities. An approach to tackle this problem is to introduce systems that ease vehicle operation and monitoring. However, these systems are hard to maintain and integrate. On this paper, a new information technology (IT) architecture is introduced. Developed by the ITxPT association, the architecture aims to improve the cost-effective implementation of the IT modules in public transport fleets. This architecture has capitalized the work of several European projects to create a solid standard ready to test on field. Finally, a use case of the introduction of an eco-driving assistance system that employs this architecture in real operation is presented.
