The article discusses GAO’s use of RFID, BLE, IoT, and drones in the urban transit systems industry. This industry includes various public transportation modes and infrastructure, crucial for reducing congestion and pollution in densely populated cities. GAO’s technologies enhance work processes and operations in this sector, providing better management of staff and equipment like buses, trains, and stations.

GAO offers RFID and BLE systems in two versions: one running on a local server and another in the cloud. These systems have applications in contactless fare payment, smart ticketing, automated fare collection, access control, passenger tracking, security, asset tracking, and more. GAO’s drone technologies are employed for infrastructure inspection, track monitoring, aerial mapping, traffic monitoring, emergency response, security patrols, and maintenance tasks. IoT technologies from GAO are used for real-time passenger information, smart ticketing, predictive maintenance, fleet management, environmental monitoring, and traffic management.

Compliance with industry standards and government regulations is a key focus for GAO, ensuring their technologies align with various ISO, Bluetooth, IEEE, and FAA standards, as well as regulations from the Federal Transit Administration and Canadian Government.

GAO’s software integrates easily with APIs, catering to personnel management, equipment management, access control, warehouse management, supply chain management, and other applications. They have partnered with leading technology companies to provide integrated solutions and have worked extensively in various divisions of urban transit systems, including mass transit rail, bus transit, tram and streetcar systems, trolleybuses, paratransit services, ferries, pedestrian infrastructure, integrated fare, and payment systems, and transit operations and maintenance.

GAO’s RFID, BLE, IoT, and drone technologies facilitate Mobility as a Service (MaaS), electrification, autonomous vehicles, contactless payments, smart cities, sustainable transportation, Transit-Oriented Development (TOD), last-mile solutions, micro-mobility, data analytics, predictive maintenance, integrated fare systems, digital twins, on-demand transit, 5G connectivity, and artificial intelligence in the urban transit systems industry.
