VISTA, CA--(Marketwire - September 30, 2008) - McCain Inc., a leading manufacturer and supplier
of traffic and transit management solutions, today announced the release of
Transparity FLASH, an automated software system developed to increase
efficiency and reliability of public transportation fleets. The
announcement is made in advance of APTA's 2008 International Public
Transportation Conference & Exhibition in San Diego, California, where
McCain Inc. will demonstrate the technology at booth #2006.
Transparity FLASH, a module within McCain's Transparity Software Suite, is
an innovative software program providing real-time monitoring of a public
transportation fleet through the use of Global Positioning System (GPS)
technology. FLASH provides vast data compilation and reports, performance
statistics, and off-line analysis tools necessary to increase public
transportation regularity while also providing real-time passenger
information updates to the public, accessible through mobile phones or the
internet.
"With technology advancing and improving every day, we feel that it is
imperative to provide our customers with the best possible solutions for
their growing needs," said Bill Brown, Vice President of Business
Development for McCain Inc. "The FLASH component of the Transparity Suite
not only allows agencies to manage their transit fleet with ease, but also
allows city residents to manage their travel plans with ease by having
up-to-date information in their hands."
FLASH is fully scalable and modular allowing it to effectively manage
several fleets simultaneously regardless of the onboard equipment and
communication systems. The software also facilitates communication with
transportation drivers using both data and voice technologies and
integrates seamlessly to Transparity's entire suite of Intelligent
Transportation System (ITS) applications.
