This Start-up Wants to Revolutionize the Bus Commute and Make Lives Better
Indiana college student Wyclife Omondi likes to be punctual. But that’s a lot
That’s because of the Kenyan city’s bus system, which 70 percent of residents rely on to get around. The system, with its 15,000 minibuses — or matatus, as locals call them — is informal. Fares, routes and schedules change constantly, making the system unreliable and hard to navigate.
“Basically, it’s unpredictable,” said Omondi, 22, a senior at Earlham College in Richmond, Ind. “You don’t know where the bus is, what time it will come and what time it will leave.”

Evaluate Your Best Ideas
Heuristic evaluations are extremely effective in identifying potential issues. However, these evaluations are just one part of your product design cycle.
By Wendy Eichenbaum
How many times have you made changes to a document and then selected close before saving it? Did you lose your data? Most likely you did not. Instead, the UI displayed a warning message prompting you to save your changes. However, if the application only had discarded your changes, the application would have violated a usability heuristic.
A usability heuristic is principal of good UX design. If any part of a website or software application violates a principal, then users are likely to be confused and frustrated.
Arval to Gain Operational Insight Into Hydrogen Fleet Cars Through Major UK Trial
Arval has become a leading partner in one of the UK’s largest hydrogen fleet car trials to date, enabling it to gain operational insight into the running of hydrogen fuel cell cars by fleets.
The leasing and fleet management specialist is taking part in the Hydrogen Hub initiative, which will see fuel cell technology tested in a wide range of domestic, commercial and transport applications in Swindon, where Arval’s UK head office is based.
Initially, two vehicles will be leased to local companies by Arval, subsidised by the Government’s Office for Low Emission Vehicles. These are a Hyundai ix35h for the National Trust and a Toyota Mirai for Nationwide Building Society.
Reduce Your Downtime and Increase Your Revenue with ARI VehicleDowntimeView®
Revolutionary tool uses GPS monitoring to ensure your vehicles are back on the road fast
ARI has developed the first technology that can precisely measure how long a vehicle is out of service and provide data to proactively manage the reduction of a fleet’s total downtime, a universally recognized challenge for many fleet managers.
Historically, vehicle downtime has been measured using arbitrary data points that estimated when a vehicle entered the shop, when a repair was finished and when vehicle was returned to driver. Lacking a better alternative, this method has been the standard practice for years.
