Since its formation almost 10 years ago, ACIS' innovative and dynamic forward thinking has turned it into one of Europe's leading suppliers of Real Time Passenger Information (RTPI) and Bus Operator fleet management. Dedicated to the improvement of public transport through technology, it is the UK's biggest provider of Traffic Signal Priority systems for the public transport and traffic control sectors, using both General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) and Private Mobile Radio (PMR) technologies.
ACIS is able to offer a complete package of IT solutions, systems design and configuration, high-end engineering assembly and installation, project management and delivery, as well as a dedicated customer services team and vital ongoing maintenance and software support staff.
The UK-based company employs over 120 people to design, develop, supply and maintain RTPI systems to Public Transport Operators, Local Governing Authorities, vehicle manufacturers and passengers. With over 33 major systems across the UK, Holland and Scandinavia, ACIS tracks over 4000 vehicles and delivers information to over 30,000 information points, both on and off route.
ACIS' award-winning BusNet product range offers diversity, choice, efficiency and reliable information solutions. From visual displays to web and mobile communications, ACIS has taken a lead with its investment in new technologies such as Web, WAP, SMS and voice messaging. It continues to develop products, investing over £1 million a year on Research and Development.
The company's pioneering application of satellite positioning to Intelligent Bus Priority won it the prestigious UK Queen's Award for Enterprise in April 2003. Other awards presented to ACIS include the Bus Industry Award for Innovation for its intelligent bus priority system and the Secretary General Award for outstanding achievement in the field of travel information, awarded at the 3rd UITP conference in Gothenburg in 2003.
