The solutions for public transport are as varied as there are different transport systems and route networks. The overall objective, however, is simplifying public transportation, making the journey smoother and less stressful for passengers and for drivers.

Real-Time Passenger Information
If there is one thing that passengers hate more than delays, it is lack of information. Mobitex solutions provide accurate and timely information during each stage of the journey, allowing passengers to remain in control and make informed decisions at all times. Real-time passenger information continuously updates electronic displays on buses and signs and monitors at major stops and connection points, providing information on departures, arrivals and delays. Travelers are not only able to obtain recommended routes, schedules and fares on the Internet prior to traveling, but also wirelessly through handheld devices while en route.
Benefits: Improved customer satisfaction

High security
Mobitex solutions are designed to enhance security for both drivers and passengers. Drivers are able to send alarms stating the nature of an incident, including location data. In such situations the reliability of the network is of utmost importance. With its extremely high level of security, police and rescue services in many countries have selected Mobitex.

Wireless ticketing
Increasingly, wireless ticket machines are being installed on vehicles and in stations, thus reducing the workload for both drivers and administrative personnel. These machines can be wirelessly controlled and provide travelers with up-to minute information about seat reservations and availability. Payments can be made by credit or debit cards, with payment authorization performed wirelessly. Mobitex POS (Point of Sale) terminals are certified by both Master Card and Visa as a secure method of payment.

Aware and informed at all times
In addition to normal information, drivers receive information about connecting lines, which stop is next and estimated time between main stops. Real-time information about the traffic situation and the time intervals to the preceding and following busses on the line, allows the driver to take appropriate actions to ensure the smoothest service.

Remote vehicle diagnostics
Online collection of key diagnostic data and early warnings to traffic controllers allow them control the fleet in an optimal manner, while instant alarms enable faster dispatch of maintenance crews, thus reducing downtime. Mobitex can also push information to pre-defined user groups, such as all service technicians or all busses in a given area.

Fleet management
Wireless fleet control adds value. In addition, various vehicle parameters can be monitored remotely, providing data that allows transport companies to improve service and security, while utilizing resources more efficiently. Experience shows that Mobitex allows business to grow without expanding the fleet. This contributes to very short payback times.
