TURKU,
Finland, Feb. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Teleste
has agreed on the delivery of its passenger information system with
Verkehrsregion-Nahverkehr Ems-Jade (VEJ) to the association of
municipal public transport authorities in the Ems-Jade region in
Germany, comprising the districts
of Aurich, Friesland, and Wittmund, as well as the independent
cities of Emden, Leer, and Wilhelmshaven. The delivered system will
include 179 LED displays for the VEJ bus stops and management
software that takes care of the delivery of realtime passenger
information to the displays. In addition to this, Teleste will be
responsible for installation work and user training during the
system implementation in 2023.
Through its dense bus route network, VEJ serves more than 40
million passengers each year. The network comprises almost 300 bus
lines mostly in regional transport and thousands of bus stops.
Providing an excellent passenger experience with such an extensive
network requires special focus on the management of routes and
schedules, as well as on the delivery of up-to-date travel
information to passengers along the routes. Teleste's passenger
information system gives transport operators excellent tools to
achieve this goal: the central software, iqu Hub, allows feeding
the network with real-time information and other content while the
displays present the information clearly and brightly at bus
stops.
"Access to real-time travel information helps passengers use
public transport in a more reliable, safer and timely manner that
underpins their satisfaction with a journey. For this reason, a
modern passenger information system is among the most important
factors in developing transport services that are able to deliver a
great passenger experience and increase ridership," said
Claudio Borrello, head of Teleste's
Public Transport Operators business line.
"With decades of experience in the industry, providing solutions
to passengers' information needs is our core expertise, and we are
pleased to work with VEJ to develop the access to information in
their bus network. For us, this project is also an opportunity to
strengthen our local presence and increase our visibility in the
German operator market."
In addition to the management and delivery of real-time
passenger information, Teleste's iqu Hub software also offers
several tools to guarantee reliable operation of the system from
checking the status of displays to receiving predefined alerts and
notifications of possible interruptions in the operation of the
system. Adding significantly to the quality of the entire transit
network, these features help the operator ensure seamless flow of
information and a connected journey for the passengers even in
harsh outdoor conditions. Please visit our website to learn more
