With increasingly complex threats facing cities, there is little doubt that smart transport networks are the future. Offering benefits to passengers, operators and local authorities alike, they enable urban services to become more efficient, safer and connected.
So, how do transport operators transition their current infrastructure to achieve smart transport network ambitions? IP, integration and wider adoption of open architecture, coupled with closer collaboration between partners and local authorities are crucial steps. It’s a complex challenge, but one Synectics – attending Coach & Bus UK at the NEC on 4-5 October – believes today’s technology can help overcome.
On stand N19, Synectics will be showcasing solutions deployed within the world’s busiest transport hubs by multiple operators. Visitors will witness live demonstrations of Synectics’ Synergy 3 management platform, which enables operators to adopt the ‘smart’ approach by providing a mechanism to integrate and utilise data from multiple systems, while automating key management processes.
Jeff Fail, Managing Director, Synectics Mobile Division, said: “Smart transport networks are better for passengers and for our urban infrastructure as a whole. Adopting an open architecture, integrated surveillance solution to make vital system connections, enables operators to gather and utilise real time data from all parts of their network, driving cost and operational efficiencies as well as improved customer service.”
