All Oxford Bus Company buses and coaches have automatic vehicle location (AVL) equipment installed which works via GPS technology.
The AVL equipment installed on each bus or coach gives geographical location to within a few metres and is updating central control room every few seconds.
This information technology can therefore be seen in real time at the central control room, which helps in managing the fleet.

The AVL equipment is also coupled to a real-time passenger information system at over 250 bus stop display screens around Oxford City and surrounding towns, and via a smartphone app.
This coupled information technology system gives the public "predicted times" of bus and coach services around Oxford City and surrounding towns.

Oxfordshire County Council also uses this information technology to provide traffic-light priority for buses at some road junctions.

The real-time passenger information system is managed by OxonTime, which is a partnership between various bus companies and Oxfordshire County Council.
