TRACK helps public-transport operators organise operational, maintenance and environmental information for fleet review. In Lisbon, it supports monitoring of a 15-bus pilot cohort and structured data exchange with DAMS. Further development addresses material flows and recovered-component tracking.
TRACK connects CARRIS operational information with the monitoring needs of the Lisbon CSSBoost pilot. The system acquires pilot-related data, presents measurements and indicators through dashboards, and exports relevant information to DAMS for use by the broader CSSBoost platform and services.
The monitored pilot fleet comprises 15 buses with different propulsion technologies, including diesel, natural gas and electricity. Daily monitoring covers distance travelled, energy consumption and greenhouse-gas-related information, while maintenance activity and waste are followed at a monthly frequency. Additional work documents the removal and reuse of components from end-of-life vehicles to support buses still in service.
TRACK was designed around CARRIS requirements and has been deployed for pilot data collection and display. Integration uses information from CARRIS operational systems, connecting fleet-management data with the pilot's circularity objectives. The dashboards support operational awareness and informed decisions about maintenance, resource use and lifecycle strategies. Comparisons need to account for vehicle characteristics, service conditions and reporting periods so that changes are interpreted in their proper operational context.
PARTICLE develops TRACK in collaboration with CARRIS.
Dashboards covering distance, energy use, greenhouse-gas-related information, maintenance and waste for the selected CARRIS pilot buses.
