TRANSIT PERFORMANCE INTELLIGENCE
REAL-TIME TRACKING, DELAYS, KPIs, AND GTFS-RT HISTORY — IN ONE SUBSCRIPTION.
whAT vela PULSE DOES
Vela Pulse turns your live transit data into operator-grade visibility. Real-time vehicle tracking, simple delay calculations, on-time-performance dashboards, headway adherence, and historical GTFS-RT archive — all served as a multi-tenant SaaS, with public widgets and a developer API on top.
Built on the Vela Context Data Hub and the ETSI NGSI-LD open standard. Designed for operators, public transport authorities, and cities that need ongoing performance visibility without a custom build.
One subscription. Every vehicle. Every route. Every delay, accounted for.

Need a One-Operator Deployment First?
If your operator doesn't have GTFS-RT yet — or if you want a fully consultative one-deployment project before subscribing to Pulse — start with the Mobility Starter Pack. We'll get your data publishing first, then transition you onto Pulse when you're ready.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS?
DO I HAVE TO PUBLISH MY GTFS-RT DATA PUBLICLY?
No. We host private feeds with the same SLA as public ones. Your data stays yours.
WHAT IF MY GTFS-RT FEED IS MESSY OR PARTIAL?
Pulse runs feed validation continuously and reports issues. We can also help you clean and improve your feed as part of the onboarding.
CAN I EXPORT MY DATA?
Yes. CSV, JSON, NGSI-LD, and original GTFS-RT exports are all available. No lock-in..
DOES THIS REPLACE MY SCHEDULING OR DISPATCH SYSTEM?
No. Pulse is read-only and informational. We're not in the business of telling drivers what to do.
WHAT ABOUT REGULATORY KPI REPORTING?
Pulse is informational by design. If you need formal regulatory submission, we can quote it as a separate scope. We don't bundle this into the standard product.
