1. General Information
A business transformation program coupled with large scale IT modernization is needed
to alleviate many of the above issues and help an enterprise take its business to the next
level. With the ever increasing speed of commerce, freight forwarders and other
transportation players are rapidly rolling out large business transformation programs to
bring more agility and better control over their business. A significant investment of time
and money is needed and on razor thin margins that logistics companies make, it is
extremely critical that the program doesn't wind up becoming just a money draining
engine. Today's competitive business environment demands higher degree of commitment
from the management towards its stakeholders. Newer and more efficient ways of
conducting business are the key to success and this demands the right strategic direction
and speed of execution. We had developed a world-class business consulting model to
ignite technology-led transformation for enterprises. The ability to adapt to change is what
separates successful transportation and logistics companies from the competition.
Successful providers constantly bring new offerings to market, promptly respond to
customer demand, and quickly adapt IT landscapes to changing business requirements.
Our team is led by senior consultants with extensive experience in business strategy
development. Organized around business verticals, such as banking, retail and telecom,
these consultants and their teams ensure that our solutions are enriched with all the
advantages that deep domain expertise brings.
2. Project Objectives
To improve the capability in managing the entire public transport system more
efficiently, safely with a Commuter-friendly approach by introducing real time
monitoring and tracking of the fleet, information to passengers at bus terminus and
bus-stops.
To improve the reliability of OSRTC services through effective Operations, Travel

Demand Management measures and Emergency Response System and reduction
in the waiting time of its passengers and those who arrive at bus stands to receive
passengers.
To provide real time information and dynamic fleet management & Operation
Control Room (OCR) and Datacenter (DC) based in OSRTC central office.
Computer terminals with connectivity are proposed at divisions and depots for
management of system at respective levels.
Integrate ETM machines with Datacenter for one click information on sales (OSRTC
have to give the API of ETM machine)
Confidential
To manage the entire transport buses and their timing schedules, Arrival and
departures in each bus terminals and depots.

The Architecture of the system

The system is designed to control the information display located at remote
geography using a simple to use centralized servers.

Content Server and Content Manager manage the media content management,
planning and scheduling

The media Content Distribution can happen over internet or over a private
network as required by OSRTC

The system has XML based connection/ integration interface with main, to allow
data pull from an external system such as ERP, MIS, and Database etc.
A player plays the content on the display. These players are capable of
independently communicating with the central Servers.

If a location has large number of displays then a media gateway can be installed
there and this will handle the communication with the central server. Thus,
optimizing the network utilization
5.21.
MIS Reports
Report module, a part of the VTMS application, helps management / administration to

keep a check on the performance of various depots, buses, routes, drivers, conductors
etc.
with
the
help
of this module, management
can efficiently use organizational
resources, access corporate knowledge, and leverage business insight to make betterinformed decisions. An indicative list of reports is as detailed below:

Operational Environment
Based on n tier Open source Architecture
User Interface: OSRTC has desired for web-based solution the front end is web
enabled. The Web Browser manages the User Interaction with the Web Server,
which in turn manages the session with the Application Server.
Presentation Logic: The presentation logic defines what the User Interface
displays and how user request are handled.
Business Logic: Models the Application Business rules and interacts with
the Application data layer.
Data Layer: Manages the Application data and interacts with the Relational
Database Management system
Web Browser: Internet Explorer 7.0 & above / Mozilla & above / Google Chrome
RDBMS: MySql 5.1.
Web Server: Apache Tomcat 7
Java Coding Conventions will be adopted for coding the applications.
Java Design Patterns will be adopted while designing and coding the application.
5.22.6.
User friendliness
Our philosophy is to create software, which is easy to use and with a short learning curve.
We believe that it is the software that should behave as expected by the user,
rather than the other way round. Thus User Friendliness is put at the top of our agenda
right from the start of the design stage rather than adding it as an extra feature at the
end of the development. This allows new users to start using the system very quickly and
at the same time being pleasurable to the user.
5.22.7.
Response Time
Response is very crucial when it comes to Internet environment and challenging when
there are connection problems, low bandwidth etc. With appropriate internet connectivity
and bandwidth availability, the
proposed
system would
maintain
normal
response
Security would be an important component in the entire solution- hence all the
sensitive
times as are specified in the SLA.
5.22.8.
Security
information would be protected by encryption. Users would be defined based on the access
criteria. Access criteria would be defined at each level for having maximum secured usage.
The system would be able to run in the Secure Gateway Environment with comprehensive
security monitoring including managed firewalls, Intrusion Detection devices. Virus
18
Confidential
scanning ensures protection for core information assets and intellectual property. Only
authorized users would be allowed to access the site and the administrator would be given
rights to control the access of the users for the entire system so that no greater part of
the system is be accessed by the user other than required to perform the required task.
Password is stored using one-way encryption. Industry standard encryption algorithm is
used to protect the password. SSL is used to transfer secured data. Digital signature can
be used based on the requirements.
5.22.9.
Technical Support
We would be maintaining product support, version control and seamless
integration of the changes, which would be made subsequent to the

implementation of the system.
Organization has a strong quality focus with a Quality Management System,
which would oversee the entire software development and implementation.

Change management procedure would be a part of the Quality Management
System. Each and every change and versions would be Tracked and maintained
if in case to revert back to some previous versions.
The system would allow minor upgrades on the components. Technical support
would be provided onsite and offshore depending on the service level

requirements of the project.
5.22.10.
Key Project Milestones / Deliverables
Success of any project depends on how well the milestones / deliverables of the project
have been detailed out and in reference to the schedule of implementation of the
