What is OBS/CCS?
The OBS/CCS Project includes all of the technology, except the new radio system, for vehicle tracking, revenue service management and near real-time customer information. Both the OBS and CCS parts of the Project will be implemented in concert with the new 700MHz radios and this combined implementation will migrate the KCM’s revenue fleet to the new, integrated systems. The OBS will provide Metro’s fixed-route vehicles with the next generation of on-board vehicle electronics and data systems. Using a new, integrated, multi-function computer and communications system, KCM’s buses have will have on-board capabilities that monitor and report on the operational and maintenance status of the bus, as well as its current location and schedule. The OBS will also be installed with and provide an Operator interface to the new mobile radios provided by the Transit Radio System Project. The CCS will provide Metro Coordinators with a replacement for the current Communications Center CAD/AVL system.
