    Here's a question that we probably already know the answer to, how would you like to get a green light every time you pull up at an intersection, however would that be every time, green light.

    I'm all for it, it's actually happening though for school bus drivers in Fulton county, thanks to a pilot program, here's Atlanta news first reporter Rebekka Schramm in Alpharetta.

  • 3

    They tried it first for emergency vehicles, now the city of Alpharetta is giving the green light to a couple of school buses.

  • 4

    And a transportation director for Fulton county schools likes what he's seeing, the head of a local technology company tells us how it works.

  • 5

    It allows the school bus to tell the traffic intersection, I'm bringing kids, this is where I am, and this is how fast I'm going.

  • 6

    And that signal not only goes to the traffic intersection immediately in front of it, but all the intersections down the road.

    Brian Mulligan of Atlanta-based applied information explains that using CellularVehicle-to-Everything technology.

    The two Fulton county school buses that took part in the pilot program in Alpharetta found a major reduction in the number of stops 40%, that led to a 10% reduction in both fuel consumption and emissions.

    Michael Ruelle works for planning and design company Kimley-Horn. - When you kind of sum that up across an entire fleet, and look at the overall fuel savings, as well as potential emissions really significant improvements in that.

    Saving time on the route meant buses could double back and pick up another route, a tangible solution to the current driver shortage.

  • 11

    Oh and there was an unexpected advantage that the drivers of the buses reported, fewer stops led to an improvement in student behavior.

  • 12

    With the bus continually moving, they tended to stay in their seat more, they stayed focused and were able to deliver those students, quicker to home or to the school.

  • 13

    That was the transportation director for Fulton county, he says he hopes more municipalities will invest in the smart technology, he says it costs about five grand to equip one bus.

  • 14

    He'd like more of his buses to have it, that is something the school board will have to decide. In Alpharetta, Rebekka Schramm, Atlanta News First.

    这是一个我们可能已经知道答案的问题,你希望每次在十字路口停车时都是绿灯,但每次都是绿灯吗?

  • 2

    我完全支持,不过多亏了试点项目的实施,富尔顿县的校车司机们已经开始体验了。亚特兰大第一新闻记者丽贝卡·施拉姆在阿尔法雷塔报道。

  • 3

    他们首先在应急车辆上尝试,现在阿尔法雷塔市为一些校车开了绿灯。

  • 4

    富尔顿县学校的交通负责人很喜欢他眼前所看到的,当地一家科技公司的负责人告诉我们它是如何运作的。

  • 5

    它(车载系统)可以让校车告诉交通路口,我带着孩子,这是我的位置,这是我的速度。

  • 6

    这个信号不仅直接送到它前面的十字路口,还传递到这条路上所有的十字路口。

  • 7

    亚特兰大应用信息公司的布莱恩·穆里根解释说,这是使用了基于蜂窝通信技术的车联网技术。

  • 8

    参与阿尔法雷塔市试点项目的两辆富尔顿县校车发现,停靠次数大幅减少了40%,让燃料消耗和排放都减少了10%。

  • 9

    迈克尔·鲁埃尔就职于规划设计公司Kimley-Horn。 - 当你在整个车队中总结这一点时,看看整体的燃料节省,以及潜在的排放,这方面真的有很大的改善。

  • 10

    在这条路线上节省的时间意味着公交车可以折返到另一条路线,切实解决了目前司机短缺的问题。

  • 11

    哦,还有一个意想不到的好处,公交司机报告说,更少的停靠站让学生行为也有了改善。

  • 12

    随着公交车的不断行驶,他们倾向于更多地待在座位上,他们保持专注,这能更快地把学生送到家或学校。

  • 13

    这是富尔顿县的交通主管,他说他希望更多的城市政府投资智能技术,他说装备一辆公共汽车大约需要5000美元。

  • 14

    他希望更多的校车都有这个功能,这是学校董事会必须决定的事情。这里是阿尔法雷塔,丽贝卡·施拉姆,亚特兰大第一新闻。
