Upgraded fare collection systems to touch the lives of up to
approximately 2 million passengers every day
FLORHAM PARK, New Jersey,
Dec. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
Conduent Incorporated (NYSE: CNDT) today announced that it has been
selected by multiple public transportation providers around the
world to upgrade their fare collection systems, touching the lives
of up to approximately 2 million passengers every day.
Europe
Brescia Mobilità in the city of Brescia,
Italy, has finalised a contract to
upgrade its fare collection with Conduent's ATLAS®
system on its 200 buses and light metro subway. Each day, the
Brescia urban public transport system is used by approximately
46,000 metro users and 100,000 bus users.
APAM in the city of
Mantua, Italy, has finalised a
contract for a new ticketing system on 260 of its buses based on
Conduent's ATLAS platform. Mantua's bus network serves
approximately 25,000 passengers each day.
Both of these technologically advanced solutions are part of a
comprehensive transportation ticketing system that Conduent is
delivering in the Lombardy region of
Northern Italy that will enable seamless travel across
the region.
Swedish public transport operator Skånetrafiken has finalised an
agreement with Conduent to supply 225 ticket machines. The machines
will enable Skånetrafiken to offer its bus and rail passengers an
easy and modern way to pay for their travel while enhancing the
end-user experience. In total, the company will supply 265 Conduent
Expert 6000 ticket machines, of which Skånetrafiken will have 225.
The rest of the ticket machines will be used by two other
operators, Blekingetrafiken and Östgötatrafiken, which were also
part of the procurement.
Conduent has also completed the installation of
three-dimensional (3-D) Detection Gates for SNCF Transilien at the
Paris Saint-Lazare railway station, one of the busiest in
Europe, with approximately 1,600
trains and 450,000 passengers a day. In total, 140 validation doors
distributed over eight access points have been set up.
"Until recently, Paris Saint-Lazare was the last major railway
station in the French capital not to have access control gates.
Now, thanks to Conduent, the station has the very latest devices,"
said Alain Krakovitch, General Manager, SNCF Transilien. "Conduent
was able to design new, innovative gates to perfectly meet our
needs. The 3-D Detection Gates provide quick and easy access for
valid passengers — up to 40 people can pass through each gate every
minute — and, at the same time, detect and reduce fraudulent fare
dodgers."
In a 10-year programme, up to 3,000 Conduent gates, designed,
developed and manufactured in France, could be installed across the SNCF
Transilien network.
Israel
In Israel, Conduent, in
partnership with Symcotech, supplied 5,500 Conduent VPE 430
smart-card ticket validators on the Egged bus network. These new
validators will enable Egged to expand the range of payment methods
it offers to its customers, including cEMV (contactless
Europay, MasterCard and Visa) bank cards and QR codes.
Mexico
In the city of Hermosillo,
State of Sonora, Mexico, Conduent
was awarded a contract by city authorities and a bus operator
consortium to implement its fare collection system. The new system,
which has recently gone live, will significantly improve the
quality of mobility provided to citizens including the elimination
of payment by cash with a modern "tap-and-go" contactless card
payment system. Conduent installed its VPE 420 ticket validators
and implemented a reload network so that users can reload their
payment cards. The company also implemented an Automatic Vehicle
Location system so that users can verify the exact location of the
bus prior to its arrival at the bus stop through the UNE app, now
available for download on iOS and Android.
"These recently won contracts underscore the shift in the
transportation industry to advance urban mobility by embracing
next-generation technology," said Mark
Brewer, President, Global Public Sector Solutions, Conduent.
"Operators are responding to customers' demands for seamless
journeys and a wider range of payment methods. Our technology and
expertise are helping operators meet these demands."
