DVB's New System at Mitte Station Aims to Clarify Double Stops
Dresden's public transport authority, DVB, has rolled out a novel system at the bustling Mitte station. This innovation aims to clarify confusion caused by double stops, where two vehicles halt simultaneously, by displaying the exact stop position of approaching buses and trains around 50 seconds before arrival.
The Mitte station, a major transfer point, sees five lines passing through it every ten minutes. The new system calculates predictions based on current stop occupancy, location reports of incoming vehicles, and expected signal release times, achieving an impressive accuracy of up to 90 percent or more.
Passengers can now anticipate which vehicle will stop at the front or back, making transfers smoother and potentially speeding up traffic at the station. The DVB hopes this service will enhance passenger experience and efficiency.
