This project is a collaboration between Expedition Technologies, Inc. (Expedition) and the New Brunswick Community College's Centre for Applied Research in Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing (NBCC-MU). Expedition offers a software service called ReadyPass that enables transit riders and operators to view the positions of buses in real-time, as well as scheduling and route information. The goals of this project are to: (1) Review the current software architecture of ReadyPass and make recommendations to improve its resilience and adaptability for new services; and (2) Develop proofs of concept for mass notification and advertising through the ReadyPass's mobile app and other channels, such as screens on transit vehicles and in transit hubs. Results are expected to enable transit administrators to efficiently send critical information, such as emergencies and last-minute service changes, to passengers and vehicle operators. Expedition intends to leverage this project to review and understand gaps, obstacles, and opportunities to combine vehicle tracking and smart data collection. An anticipated outcome is for this knowledge to inform development of commercially viable, standardized offerings to North American markets. This project is expected to produce commercial-grade technology that will generate new revenue for a Canadian company and local transit authorities. The project will also benefit transit riders in Canada in the form of more useful and timely transit updates.

该项目是Expedition Technologies， Inc. （Expedition）和New Brunswick Community College的移动和普适计算应用研究中心（NBCC-MU）之间的合作项目。Expedition公司提供了一种名为ReadyPass的软件服务，可以让公交乘客和运营商实时查看公交车的位置，以及调度和路线信息。该项目的目标是：(1)审查ReadyPass当前的软件架构，并提出建议，以提高其对新服务的弹性和适应性；(2)通过ReadyPass的移动应用程序和其他渠道，如公交车辆和交通枢纽的屏幕，开发大规模通知和广告的概念证明。预计结果将使交通管理人员能够有效地向乘客和车辆运营商发送关键信息，如紧急情况和最后一刻的服务变更。Expedition打算利用这个项目来审查和了解将车辆跟踪和智能数据收集结合起来的差距、障碍和机会。预期的结果是，这些知识将为北美市场上商业上可行的标准化产品的开发提供信息。该项目预计将产生商业级技术，为加拿大公司和当地交通当局带来新的收入。该项目还将以更有用和及时的交通更新形式使加拿大的公共交通乘客受益。
