NetScout Systems [Nasdaq: NTCT], a provider of network performance management products, announced that Tri-County Metropolitan Transit Agency (TriMet), the public transportation system in the Portland, Ore., area, is using its nGenius performance management system.

Among the new technologies TriMet has deployed is a Global Positioning System that tracks bus movement. The information is integrated with other tracking data for TriMet’s Transit Tracker, a real-time arrival notification system, which displays the arrival times of the next buses or trains. The agency is also expanding its networked video surveillance system and has plans to pass that traffic throughout its networks through the nGenius solution. TriMet is managing the performance of its mission-critical network and the advanced applications that track and ensure the operation and safety of transit services for more than 300,000 passengers a day, across 600 square miles of urban territory.
