Hogia participates in award winning project
At London Transport Awards on March 1st, the London Demonstrator of European Bus System of the Future 2 (EBSF2) programme won the Most Innovative Transport Project award. The award was presented by Leon Daniels and was collected by Mathew Hudson of Transport for London.
In the EBSF2 project; operators, traffic managers, bus manufacturers and system vendors have collaborated and formulated a number of specifications and recommendations for IT systems that are important for a well-functioning bus system. Among other things, focus has been on establishing standards and industry recommendations to simplify cooperation between different suppliers. The concept has been tested in a field trial with city buses that are in service in London. London has a bus system that transports 6 million travelers every day. Hogia participates as a supplier of the platform that connects IT systems.
The field trial uses PubTrans, Hogia's Integration System for Public Transport Information, to merge and harmonise information from the various providers.
- I am happy that this project won the award as it puts focus on how important standards are for successful co-operation between different industry actors. We have always strived to deliver a technical platform that does not tie the customer into a specific technical solution, but provides the opportunity to combine the benefits of several different systems, says Ulf Bjersing at Hogia Public Transport Systems.
The European Bus System of the Future 2 (EBSF2) project is led by UITP and co-funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. Advancing solutions for improved efficiency and attractiveness of urban bus systems. http://ebsf2.eu/
