Tramways & buses

Digital transformation of transport

Whether it’s to develop sustainable mobility – with a more attractive and safer transport offer – or to improve the operation of vehicle fleets, the number of services and therefore electronic equipment on board buses and tramways continues to grow :

  • Real-time CCTV and Voice over IP (VoIP) guarantee rapid intervention by public authorities in the event of an incident,
  • Simplified access to transport thanks to Open Payment and MaaS (Mobility as a Service) solutions,
  • Passenger counting and passenger information solutions to enhance the user experience,
  • Fleet management and vehicle tracking AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location)…

All these in-vehicle services generate a growing amount of information that needs to be transferred to the transport operator’s operations center.

In this context of connected mobility, the IP network embedded in each vehicle is now an integral part of the transport operator’s IT network.

Thanks to ACKSYS WiFi and cellular routers, specifically designed for buses and tramways, data transfer is seamless and totally secure, both at the depot (WiFi 6) and in operation (5G).

How to deal with the decline of 2G and 3G with ACKSYS routers ?

With the predicted decline of 2G and 3G, many carriers are facing the obsolescence of these older technologies. Operators can keep their vehicles operational and easily migrate to 4G or 5G with ACKSYS AirWan and RailBox routers.

TER RENOVATION

ACKSYS has won SNCF's Train Digital-Marché 6 tender to equip renovated TER trains with inter-rail WiFi modules. These modules create a complete IP network on board the trains, enhancing connectivity and safety. ACKSYS' SRCC solution, based on wireless couplers, has been installed in the Grand Est, Occitanie, PACA and CVDL regions. Télécharger
