Octave Alto Mass Transit

The platform supports a wide range of transit assets, including tracks, switches, stations, electrification systems, masts, poles, overhead lines, ticket machines, accessibility features and more. Specialized modules allow operators to capture detailed information such as trackbed layers, rail age, quality, controlled points, timetable screens and displays, equipment status and electric network components. This helps create a precise and up-to-date digital representation of the entire transportation system.

The system provides real-time updates on asset conditions and network activity, ensuring decision-makers always have current information. Its monitoring tools allow operators to view issues, track changes and react quickly before disruptions occur. With integrated analytics and GIS insights, teams can better understand trends, anticipate problems and plan interventions that reduce downtime and improve reliability.

Alto Mass Transit centralizes all relevant network and asset information, making it easy for teams across engineering, operations, planning and maintenance to access and share consistent data. The platform supports cross-department communication, workflow automation and standardized processes. This reduces information silos and ensures that all stakeholders work from the same real time information set.

Yes. The platform is designed to integrate data from multiple systems, acting as a centralized hub for asset, spatial, sensor and operational information. Agencies can import networks, connect with GIS tools, share data with external partners and maintain a consistent information structure across the organization. This enables smoother workflows and ensures data remains accurate, reliable and up to date.

HxGN Mass Transit has been renamed Alto Mass Transit. The product, functionality, and modules remain the same, only the name has changed to align with Octave’s updated product portfolio.

Alto Mass Transit offers five standard modules: Network Management, Track Characteristics, Station Management, Electrification, and Construction. Each module covers a specific area, such as building a digital network model, monitoring track quality, managing station assets, tracking electrification systems, or overseeing construction projects. The platform is flexible, allowing agencies to configure existing modules or add new ones as needed, creating a scalable solution that adapts to both current and future operational needs.

By consolidating asset information, automating workflows and providing accurate, real-time insights, Alto Mass Transit reduces manual work, prevents data duplication and speeds up maintenance tasks. Agencies gain a clearer understanding of their networks, enabling better planning, optimized resource allocation and fewer disruptions. Over time, these improvements lead to lower operational costs and a more resilient transportation system.

Alto Mass Transit uses a fast, web-based linear referencing system (LRS) to define, manage and analyze linear assets such as tracks, routes and network segments. LRS makes it possible to reference every asset or event, like switches, rail quality, track conditions, overhead line components or maintenance areas, by their exact position along the network. This allows teams to maintain a precise digital model of the transportation system.
