 The "Shuttle Bus Cloud by NAVITIME" is a business support service that solves problems faced by users of shuttle buses, operators who manage them, and drivers (drivers) when operating them. The service provides a one-package system that enables operators to grasp the location information of courtesy buses in real time and distribute it to bus users.

 The feature of this system is that it can be used immediately with a smartphone (GPS) and a PC terminal, without the need for dedicated equipment or complicated system installation and integration.

 In shuttle bus operations, users have a sense of anxiety about when the bus will be late (when will it come, has it passed by, how long will they have to wait?), while drivers have difficulty reporting the status of the bus immediately while driving for safety reasons, and managers cannot tell users how late they are because they do not know the status. On the other hand, drivers have difficulty in reporting the status of their operations immediately while driving for safety reasons.

 Navitime Japan has been providing operation information display and dynamic management services that utilize vehicle location information. In addition, as a location information distribution system for courtesy buses, the system has been adopted by "huglocation," a bus location information notification service, a function within "hugmo," a childcare ICT service provided by Gakken Corporation, from October 2022.

 This new service will provide a simple, easy-to-use system to check the location of buses via smartphones, tablets, and PCs, thereby helping to resolve issues related to the operation of courtesy shuttle buses.

 Registration and operation is done by registering each bus stop, operating route, and bus vehicle, and location information is distributed based on that data. When a driver starts the application and gets on the bus, GPS is delivered, and the administrator or user can check information such as which bus is on which route and where it is in real time on the user's screen with simple operations.

 This service can be widely used by operators of shuttle buses in various industries, such as schools, hospitals, companies, stores, and lodging facilities. It can also be used for temporary information distribution, such as for buses that substitute for railroads, and for route buses and community buses that wish to simply distribute location information.

 Through the provision of this service, we hope to continue to support operators of shuttle buses to improve their operational efficiency and provide safe and comfortable transportation for their passengers.
