Karlsruhe (euro adhoc) - init is supplying hardware and software for
operational control, passenger information and the ticketing system

Karlsruhe/Salzburg, 6 August 2012. It is one of the key issues for
our mo-bility: private transport and public transport must be better
coordinated to conserve scarce energy resources and to reduce
emissions. A project relating to this is currently underway in the
Austrian city of Salzburg. To enable the necessary data to be
provided in real time and to be available at the various interfaces,
init innovation in traffic systems AG has now been tasked with
installing the relevant hardware and software for public transport.
The new control system MOBILE-ITCS will generate and analyse data
from the buses (Obuses) in the traffic system and will pass on this
information to various interfaces.

Future-oriented model with integrated ticketing Highly specialised
hardware and software are required to make sure the system works.
These are to be provided for about 110 Obuses in Salzburg and the
control centre of the transport operator Salzburg AG by
Karlsruhe-based init, the worldwide leading supplier of Intelligent
Transportation Systems for public transportation. The Obus operator
of Salzburger Lokalbahnen decided to have the existing control
system, including the ticketing system replaced by init following a
Europe-wide call for tenders. For the operational headquarters, init
is supplying a modern Intermodal Transport Control System (ITCS) with
dynamic passenger information and operational statistics.
Simultaneously, numerous interfaces are being realised for data
supply, personnel and service planning and various information
systems.

For this purpose, the Obuses have to be equipped with the integrated
on-board computer/ticket printer EVENDpc. The vehicle data supply and
tariff data extraction will take place via WLAN. The central ticket
management and clearing system MOBILEvario manages the tariff of the
Salzburger Verkehrsverbund and an individual in-house tariff. "The
Salzburg model is future-oriented in terms of the efficient
organisation of transport systems in conurbations. We are therefore
very proud to be able to make a substantial contribution to this
pilot project as a partner of Salzburg AG. We also expect there to be
increased calls for tenders for integrated projects of this kind in
the future", remarked Dr Jürgen Greschner, CSO, when the contract was
awarded.
