Abstract (EN): STCP is the main bus operator in Porto Metropolitan Area. The experimental phase of using fleet tracking and management systems fitted on public transport began in the late eighties, but only in 2002 the current system (SAEI) involved all the buses of the company. Nowadays, these systems are integral company management systems. In this paper, the experience of a bit more than six years is related. The main reasons for the use of such systems are detailed, the architecture and functionalities are described and the importance of accessing real-time information together with subsequent analysis of the data obtained is underlined.
