Open Payment Systems
We understand the demand for fast, convenient and safe payment alternatives for public transit. We’re helping create the future today with open payment technology. New use of proven technology provides customers the convenience of quickly paying with bank cards and eliminating the need to wait in line at ticket machines and counters. What’s more, it presents improved flexibility and significant cost savings by enabling agencies to improve fare policy flexibility all while making public transit more convenient for riders.
Real-time Fleet Management / CAD/AVL
For many cities, making public transit safe, more attractive, faster and more efficient are daily operational challenges. We play a key role in managing these challenges by providing real-time fleet management systems. These systems provide a wealth of dynamic information transit agencies need to ensure passengers experience fast, safe and reliable public transit.
- Do you know the exact location of every vehicle in your fleet?
- Do you know if a bus is behind schedule or in trouble?
- Are you able to communicate to your riders accurate, real-time schedule status?
Our integrated fleet management solutions support fixed route transit, bus rapid transit (BRT), paratransit vehicles, along with supervisor and maintenance vehicles. Dispatchers can constantly monitor vehicle location, collect information on health of the vehicle equipment and keep continuous communication with the entire fleet.
Our integrated solutions include, but are not limited to:
- Computer-aided dispatch (CAD) and GPS-based Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL)
- Private radio and cellular communications integration
- Automatic Passenger counting
- Real-time & Web-based passenger information
- Next stop automated vehicle annunciation
- Traffic Signal Priority integration
- Yard management
With our fleet management solutions, managers can take the pulse of their organization at any given point in time. This transparency allows for better resource and data management and the ability to quickly respond to emergencies aboard the bus with our discrete emergency alarm. And passengers reap the benefits—up-to-the-minute arrival information they can access at stops, while on a bus, train, at home or at work. The result: enhanced service for your riders, and improved efficiency for your organization.
