University of West London

Vehicle Tracking

The Challenge

The University of West London needed a more reliable, service-backed source of real-time vehicle tracking data to power their student-facing app. The standard BODS feed provided via the DfT was inconsistent and lacked the service guarantees the university required.

The Solution

Rise deployed its NextStop Driver App across the shuttle fleet operated by National Express Transport Solutions, enabling real-time trip data capture at vehicle level. This data is seamlessly fed through Rise’s API service, fully compliant with the SIRI-VM data specification — providing a stable, professional-grade alternative to the BODS feed.
