Public transport

Towards smart, user-friendly and efficient public mobility!

Rapid growth in urbanization means that public transport operators and their technology providers need to find ways to provide increasingly efficient and safe public transport infrastructure and services. There is a growing need for intelligent passenger information systems, as well as for solutions to provide operational control and safety in public places. Even as the daily ridership and traffic volumes are increasing, passengers are expecting to navigate through the public transport system smoothly and safely.

With our complete information and security solutions public transport operators and rolling stock manufacturers can build  safe and smooth public transport infrastructure and services for today’s urban society.

Our smart and modular passenger information solutions allow public transport operators deliver relevant information for the passengers clearly and accurately when and where needed. The solutions enable real-time management and delivery of information, such as travel information, multimedia messages and advertisements, on state-of-the-art displays at stations and platforms, on-board and even to passengers personal mobile devices.

To help operators increase awareness and operational control of their public transport infrastructure, we provide video and information management solutions designed especially for the needs of the public security.

Our highlights for the market include:

• Intelligent passenger information software designed for the delivery of travel information and multimedia content at stations and onboard, on websites, smartphones and through social media
• Proven on-board solutions, including systems for passenger information, public address, intercommunication, infotainment, wireless data transmission and on-board CCTV for trains, trams and the metro. Our on-board solutions are developed in close cooperation with international rolling stock manufacturers and railway operators. .
• Clear and sharp on-board and station displays for versatile information and advertising applications
• S-AWARE® — a situational awareness platform for improving operational control and safety in public places

The modular structure of our solutions makes it possible to build onboard and stationary infrastructures based on local, project- or customer-specific needs. The integration of all system components is efficient and reliable, which results in the lower cost of ownership.

High quality ensured by compliancy to industry standards

The high quality of our solutions is ensured by compliancy to industry standards and certifications. We have been granted with IRIS certification, which recognizes our compliance in meeting the needs of the railway industry. Our hardware components are compliant with rail standards such as EN50155. They endure harsh weather conditions and fulfil the requirements for e.g. the detection of fire and smoke, RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety) and obsolescence management.

Comprehensive life-cycle services guarantee low-risk investments for the future

Our comprehensive life-cycle services are designed for public transport operators who wish to ensure that their Teleste solution will meet the expectations for high quality through its entire lifetime. We are continuously developing our own systems and their performance to guarantee the best technology for our customers when standards and requirements change. The pace of change in technology is fast; therefore the availability of technology is secured with careful obsolescence planning and management.

Innovating new digital services for smart cities

Development of digital smart cities opens up new opportunities for service innovations. One of those is Connected Zone, our new concept designed to addresses one of today’s growing everyday challenges: the feeling of unsafety many people experience, e.g., in public places or when using public transport. The  concept makes it possible to create digital safe zones in bus stops and shelters and allow users of the service to connect to the zones via a smart phone application to launch alarms and communicate with security operator's personnel.
