Industry Analysis

The coach industry today has been in a quick developing stage along with people’s increasing demands for transport and accelerated constructions of the expressways. The soaring number of the vehicles is impressive, but also brings various problems due to the backward management of the industry. Over speed, overloading, tailgating and traffic accidents caused by fatigue driving are unable to be eliminated; low operating efficiency, high administrative costs, scattered scheduling, waste of resources, all these issues have hindered the development of the coach industry.The coach administrators are faced with a series of challenges:

1. Where is the vehicle located? How is it going on with the driver? How is the road conditions?

2. How can they eliminate the potential hazards from the drivers such as driving against the prescribed routes, fatigue driving and illegal drivings like tailgating and making calls in driving?

3. How can they timely rescue the victims when the coach encounters an accident on the way?

4. How can they rapidly and effectively distinguish the responsibility after an accident?

 

These all above are problems preventing the further smooth progress of the coach industry and the administrators need to tackle with quickly.
