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.

Logiciel d'administration WaveManager

WaveManager is a centralized tool that simplifies the supervision of an infrastructure using ACKSYS products, making the network administrator’s job easier.

It lets you configure, monitor, troubleshoot and manage network deployments of ACKSYS equipment, either locally or remotely.

  • Centralized administration
  • Simplified deployment and configuration
  • Single or grouped parameterization and updates
  • Complete equipment monitoring: geolocation, tracing, alarms, graphical representations
  • Security : user management, passwords, HTTPS certificates
  • Preventive maintenance: real-time monitoring and recording of indicators (signal level and quality, roaming thresholds, channel congestion, throughput, latency, etc.) to anticipate and prevent unexpected breakdowns.

TOWARDS CONNECTED MOBILITY

The digitalization of transport has become a major challenge for operators, unions and organizing authorities. The main objectives are to ensure passenger safety and comfort, while facilitating the operation of the urban network. In this context, the on-board network becomes an essential vehicle function, playing a central role in its smooth operation. Given that each vehicle's on-board network is an integral part of its IT network, IDELIS has opted for an ACKSYS AirWan solution. This is resolutely secure, thanks to router authentication, data encryption, secure VPN tunnels and firmware integrity checks. What's more, it is specifically designed for urban transport, with ECE R10 certification, ITxPT compliance, compactness and resistance to shock and vibration. Télécharger
