The Ingolstadt-based transport company, INVG, has commited itself to innovation through init. Their goal? To increase the efficiency of one of the strongest economic regions in Germany, and in particular, to improve the information available to the approximately 13 million passengers. To do this, the most modern telematics system, supplied by INIT GmbH (Karlsruhe), a subsidiary of init innovation in traffic systems AG, will be used. The specialists for the world's leading systems supplier of transportation telematics will equip the INVG control center and 157 vehicles with hardware and software. The order volume amounts to over 2 million. The INVG already uses the planning software, MOBILE-PLAN from init's subsidiary initplan. And now, a decision for the introduction of a traffic management system has been made using init's Intermodal Transport Control System (MOBILE-ITCS). The system from INIT, which has been used by numerous public transport authorities worldwide, was INVG's first choice. Complete solution for traffic management and ticketing As a central management tool, the ITCS provides the dispatcher with all the information they need to manage the traffic efficiently at a glance. The ITCS shows the locations of all vehicles, and maps it into concise presentations. Traffic disruptions are indicated immediately by reports on affected vehicles with system alarms. The ITCS supports the dispatchers by giving automatatedsuggestions to resolve problems and restore regular service. The crucial element in the vehicles is the combined on-board computers and ticket printers, EVENDpc, which functions as a complete solution to all ticketing and ITCS activities in the vehicle. It ensures a perfect communication flow with the control center, and a reliable data supply and data disposal in the vehicle. The EVENDpc also supports the traditional sale of tickets by the driver. As the on-board computer, EVENDpc is also responsible for all passenger information. Passengers of INVG are the winners The passengers of INVG will be the main winners in the introduction of the new control and information system. By linking to other information systems such as DEFAS, (implemented on January 1st 2011 as Bayern-Fahrplan), and through real-time data transfer, the INVG will offer its passengers a smooth and timely service with secure connections in the future. Stop information will be announced in the vehicle by onboard speakers and displays provided by init. With these service improvements, INVG hopes to convince even more motorists to the use bus and train in the future. The new ITCS will offer other transport companies the opportunity to use the system. "This is precisely the strength of our system - it is an intermodal, interoperable and multi-client capable system. That means it integrates and processes the data out of different sources. It is also possible that other transport companies can connect without jeapordizing the privacy of their own information and data . The system will increase their operating efficiency while enabling new services for passengers in the Ingolstadt region," said Dr. Jürgen Greschner, board member of init.
