SAN DIEGO, May 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Cubic Corporation (NYSE: CUB) today announced its Cubic Transportation Systems (CTS) business division will debut its NextBus Driver Control Unit (DCU), part of its NextBus Suite, a next-generation platform for multimodal transit authorities and operators at the Community Transportation Association of America's (CTAA) 33rd Annual EXPO. Held in Palm Springs, California from May 19–23, CTAA's EXPO is the premier networking event for community and public transportation professionals that focuses on the latest transportation industry products and services.
Ensuring public safety is a vital concern of transit agencies and improving driver efficiency contributes to protecting the community, passengers, drivers and vehicles. The Cubic NextBus DCU provides a single point for the monitoring and management of on-vehicle systems, using easy-to-see displays with easy-to-use user interface.
Cubic's focus is to simplify transit operations by offering a fully integrated solution, consisting of Cubic software and partner hardware allowing drivers to use one familiar screen to interact with diverse on-board systems including fare boxes, signage, vehicle locators and driver communications.
"Cubic's NextBus Suite is an intuitive platform that builds the foundation for a Transit Management-as-a-Service (TMaaS) environment, enabling rapid evaluation, deployment and support of modern transit capabilities so that operators can provide customers with the most seamless transit experiences possible," said Katie Sihler, senior business development director for NextBus, Cubic Transportation Systems.
