VigilNavigator is a smart, portable, in-vehicle navigation system that provides the driver with visual and audio navigation instructions and location-specific warnings while driving a route.

Many transit organizations have asked Vigil Systems to develop such a concept over the last few years, as Route Training is very time consuming and costly.  With high driver turnover and an increasing number of drivers recruited each year, Route Training is an area that can be revolutionized by this innovative tool.

VigilNavigator allows organizations to capture route knowledge from experienced drivers and trainers into one spot.  This knowledge can then be delivered when and where it is most needed to newer drivers.  Besides the navigation instructions that are delivered in real time during the drive, the system can warn the driver about hazards, 'hotspots' such as school zones, speed limits, priorities, dangerous intersections, road works, route deviations... the list goes on.

The device is coupled with VigilNavigator web view for route editing and management.  The easy-to-use software allows trainers locate and edit all the hotspots of the route in a map. Bus routes can easily be edited or changed as well if there is a deviation somewhere because of road works.

VigilNavigator cuts time and cost spent on Route Training to its minimum.
