Comprehensive solution for electric buses
As a pioneer and the only supplier on the market, INIT offers a comprehensive system solution that combines all operational processes for the implementation of electric buses. The planning and simulation system, eMOBILE-PLAN, determines the results of different parameters for the total cost and resources required to cover the e-bus-specific demands of route planning. The Intermodal Transport Control System, MOBILE-ITCS, permanently supervises the state of charge (SoC) of electric vehicles, warns the dispatcher when a critical state of charge has been approached and examines the remaining range before the execution of dispatching measures. The foundation for all of this is a reliable range prognosis that becomes more and more precise through machine learning. The charging processes can be managed and monitored by using the intelligent charge management system, MOBILEcharge. A close connection to the depot management system, MOBILE-DMS, ensures that current states of charge, present charging requirements and planned journeys can be taken into consideration.
Additionally, the driver assistance system, MOBILEefficiency, registers energy consumption and transmits a message to the driver in real time so he can adapt his way of driving to conserve energy accordingly. With this integrated overall system all operational demands of e-mobility are covered.
ID-based ticketing
At IT-TRANS, INIT will exhibit its ground-breaking Smart Ticketing solution based on ID-based ticketing. With it, public transport users can conveniently use the advantages of an account-based fare management system with aggregated best price calculation. Already in 2017, the trendsetting system was put into operation for TriMet, Portland/USA, and set the benchmark by covering virtual smart cards, Google Pay, Apple Pay and Samsung Pay. In Europe, too, the Open Payment principle continues to win recognition. For example, INIT’s customer, National Express West Midlands (NXWM) from Birmingham/UK, was able to obtain the comprehensive EMV-accreditation in 2019. This confirmed that INIT’s solution complies with the most current public transport-related specifications by VISA and Mastercard. Since then passengers have been able to simply check-in using a contactless credit card, Google Pay, Apple Pay or Samsung Pay, as well as NXWM’s own app and to profit from best price calculation on a daily basis. Now 64% of the passengers use these digital modes of payment.
Visitors can get extensive information at the INIT booth on new technologies, concepts and possibilities that will support them in successfully designing the future of mobility. Of note will be the contributions by INIT-employees in the course of the conference and the expo-forum. Among other things, they will talk about barrier-free travel assistance with the help of the ASSISTIVEtravel app, open mobility platforms and the successful introduction of electromobility.
