In increasingly busy cities, systems like VLTs and BRTs are essential for ensuring agility in public transport. But just as important as operational efficiency is communication with passengers. This is where SIMM.PRO comes in, a Brazilian platform that is revolutionizing the way information is shared in urban mobility corridors. 

Let’s discover how SIMM.PRO can transform communication in these transport systems? Continue reading the article 😉

So, what are BRTs and VLTs?

BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is a collective bus transport system that operates on exclusive lanes, with prepaid stations and level boarding, offering greater speed, regularity, and efficiency than conventional transport. VLT (Light Rail Vehicle) is a mode similar to light rail, which runs on tracks usually at ground level, with low environmental impact and high passenger capacity.

Both systems are increasingly used in large urban centers as modern and sustainable alternatives to improve mobility. And to ensure that users are always well-informed, real-time communication becomes an essential factor.

What is SIMM.PRO?

SIMM.PRO is an integrated urban communication platform designed to unify audio, video, text, and IoT devices into a centralized system. It combines Passenger Information Systems (PIS) with Public Announcement (PA), allowing transport operators to manage content in an automated, efficient, and real-time manner.

Why use SIMM.PRO in VLT and BRT systems?

The operation of systems like VLTs and BRTs requires clear, fast, and standardized communication between operators, stations, and passengers. This is where SIMM.PRO stands out as an intelligent platform capable of unifying audio, video, text, and IoT devices in real-time. It offers not only operational efficiency but also a safer and smoother experience for everyone involved.

1. Real-time information for passengers

With SIMM.PRO, it is possible to display:

  • Arrival and departure times of vehicles;
  • Route or operation changes;
  • Educational and awareness campaigns;
  • Emergency alerts and public utility messages.

This information is displayed on monitors, LED panels, and sound systems, both at stations and inside vehicles, promoting a much clearer and safer experience for users.

2. Intelligent scheduling and segmentation

Through zone licensing, SIMM.PRO allows operators to schedule messages based on location, time, or type of event. It is possible to create distinct schedules for each station or line, automating communication and reducing manual errors.

3. Support for live audio and emergencies

It also supports live audio via SIP, allowing operators to send instant messages to any part of the network. This is essential for critical situations that require quick action and clear communication with the public.

4. Integration with IoT devices via MQTT

SIMM.PRO connects to sensors and systems via the MQTT protocol, allowing automatic actions (such as door opening or flow detection) to trigger specific messages. This automation increases the safety and efficiency of the system as a whole.

5. Sponsored announcements and revenue generation

In addition to institutional communication, SIMM.PRO allows scheduling of paid advertising announcements, generating extra revenue for transport operators. Advertisements can be displayed at strategic times and tailored to the profile of each station or line.

Benefits of SIMM.PRO in VLTs and BRTs

  • Enhances passenger experience with clear and accessible information;
  • Increases operational efficiency by automating repetitive tasks;
  • Speeds up responses in emergency situations with live audio and instant messages;
  • Adapts to projects of any size, from isolated corridors to integrated networks.

Modern communication for urban mobility

With SIMM.PRO, VLT and BRT operators have a powerful tool to transform communication in public transport. Whether in system integration, message automation, or monetizing digital spaces, SIMM.PRO is synonymous with technology, accessibility, and efficiency.
