Fleet management in public transit is undergoing a digital transformation, and County Connection, one of California’s leading transit organisations, is stepping up to the challenge.
With a mix of diesel and electric vehicles providing essential transit and paratransit services, reliability and efficiency are non-negotiables.
Enter Intangles—a fast-growing player in Predictive AI and Digital Twin technology, now partnering with County Connection to reshape how transit fleets are managed.
This collaboration marks a significant shift from traditional fleet maintenance to a smarter, data-driven approach aimed at minimising downtime, optimising maintenance, and supporting sustainability goals.
The power of predictive AI in fleet operations
Fleet maintenance has long relied on reactive approaches—fixing problems after they occur or following scheduled maintenance cycles that don’t always reflect real-world wear and tear.
Intangles is changing that by introducing an AI-driven solution that detects subtle performance anomalies before they escalate into major failures.
Using advanced data modeling and machine learning algorithms, Intangles continuously analyses vehicle performance, identifying early signs of mechanical or electrical issues that traditional systems might overlook.
This means County Connection can anticipate and address potential failures proactively, improving fleet reliability and reducing costly, unexpected breakdowns.
Beyond just fixing problems, the platform also provides strategic insights into maintenance schedules, helping to optimise workflows, reduce unnecessary servicing, and extend the overall lifecycle of vehicles.
In an industry where operational efficiency directly impacts service quality, this shift is a game changer.
Supporting the EV transition with smart technology
With sustainability becoming a key focus for transit agencies, managing electric vehicle (EV) fleets efficiently is a challenge that can’t be ignored.
Range anxiety, battery degradation, and energy efficiency remain top concerns for transit operators.
Intangles’ real-time predictive insights tackle these issues head-on. By monitoring energy consumption, battery health, and usage patterns, the platform helps County Connection optimise EV performance without compromising reliability.
One of the biggest advantages? Smarter charging strategies. The AI-driven system helps balance charging cycles, prevent battery overuse, and deploy electric buses on the most efficient routes.
This ensures that County Connection not only meets its sustainability targets but also maintains a high standard of service for passengers.
Industry leaders weigh in
For County Connection, this partnership isn’t just about technology—it’s about delivering dependable service to the community.
“Intangles’ technology gives us an unprecedented level of insight into our fleet’s performance. By enabling us to predict and address potential issues early, it allows us to improve operational efficiency and ensure reliable service for our passengers. Their approach also supports our efforts to expand our electric fleet while maintaining high standards of performance,” said Marcel Longmire, Director of Maintenance at County Connection.
From Intangles’ perspective, this is about empowering transit agencies with the right tools to drive efficiency and service quality.
“We are delighted to onboard County Connection and bring the benefits of our Predictive AI technology to their fleet operations. Our goal is to equip transit organisations with the tools they need to make data-driven decisions that drive efficiency and improve service quality. By enhancing fleet visibility, we aim to support County Connection in delivering dependable and sustainable transportation to their community,” said Anup Patil, Co-founder & CEO of Intangles.
The future of transit fleet management
This collaboration is a prime example of how AI and data-driven insights are transforming the way transit fleets operate.
By combining predictive analytics with operational intelligence, County Connection is setting a new benchmark for efficiency, reliability, and sustainability in public transport.
As transit agencies across the globe look for smarter ways to manage their fleets, partnerships like this one signal the future—where AI and automation take the lead in ensuring seamless, high-quality transit services.
