🚉 Did you Know? How Japan Uses QR Codes to Keep Train Doors Safe 🚦 In Japan, train safety isn’t just about speed and efficiency—it’s about keeping passengers safe at every step, especially when doors open and close. Here’s where QR codes come in! 1. QR codes are placed on the platform and near train doors. 2. When a train stops, sensors check these codes to make sure the train and doors are perfectly aligned. 3. If anything is off, the doors won’t close until it’s safe. Why This Matters: • Prevents accidents: No more doors closing when people are in the way. • Simple but effective: A low-cost solution with a big safety impact. • Trustworthy system: Passengers can travel with peace of mind. This is just another example of how Japan combines smart technology with everyday solutions to make life safer and better for everyone. Would you like to see tech like this in your country’s transport system?

In the early 2000s, Seoul’s private-sector-operated bus #service encountered issues such as overloaded buses, reckless driving, and late arrival, which contributed to a decline in bus use. In 2004, the #city #government began managing bus routes and operations, and pooling revenues for redistribution among bus companies. The system improved service satisfaction by 32%, on-time arrival by 4.6%, and bus ridership by 9.4%. 🟠 READ https://buff.ly/3TZjbv1 #SDG10 #SDG11

Within a week after the launch of the transit system I am witnessing the impact on traffic. There will be more than significant traffic reduction once it's completely operational.

Utilizing advanced technologies like GPS positioning, internet connectivity, and big data analysis, they offer passengers accurate information on bus arrival times, routes, and travel tips. Additionally, smart bus stops can display advertisements, enhancing the commercial value of urban spaces. As a key element of smart city development, these stops play a crucial role in optimizing public transportation services and enhancing the overall travel experience for citizens. *𝗕𝘆 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲:  Vertical Type, Hanging Type *𝗕𝘆 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Airport Bus Station, Roadside Bus Station, Others *𝗕𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, Middle East & Africa *𝗕𝘆 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀: PARTTEAM & OEMKIOSKS®, SEEDiA.city, SuperUs, Amscreen, Shenzhen YODA Views Technology Co.,Ltd. #SmartBusStop #RealTimeBusInfo #IntelligentTransportation #SmartCity #BusStopTechnology #GPSBusTracking #PublicTransportInnovation #ConnectedBusStops #DigitalBusStop #SmartPublicTransit #MultimediaBusStop #BusArrivalPrediction #PassengerExperience #BigDataInTransit #SmartTransitInfrastructure #UrbanMobility #SmartSignage #TechEnabledBusStop #IoTBusStop #InteractiveTransitSigns

Smart Transit Revolutionizes Transportation In the realm of modern transportation, the shift towards intelligent public transit systems is revolutionizing how we move from point A to point B. With a keen eye on reducing fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, technology is stepping up to the plate with integrated mobility solutions. Imagine a seamless experience where every aspect of your journey, from planning to payment, is effortlessly managed through a single platform. This station-based mobility solution not only streamlines the process but also enhances the overall efficiency of the system. Embracing these technological trends, intelligent public transportation systems are equipped with an array of cutting-edge tools. From CCTV cameras keeping a watchful eye on safety to GPS devices ensuring precise navigation, each component plays a vital role in delivering a smooth ride. With digital displays offering real-time information and Wi-Fi keeping passengers connected on the go, the future of transit is undeniably smart. Moreover, applications catering to traveler information, online payments, secure ticketing, and automated passenger counting add layers of convenience tailored to meet the evolving demands of commuters. As technology continues to evolve, these systems promise a future where public transportation is not just efficient but also seamlessly integrated into our daily lives. #SmartTransit #PublicTransportation #TechInTransit #FutureMobility #IntegratedTravel

Here is a bus stop in Busan, South Korea, a digital signboard displays real-time bus schedules. It was simple but highly effective—providing accurate arrival times and updates. It show that South Korea is way more advanced compared to Singapore in technology adoption for public transportation and commuter experiences. Singapore needs to do more for the transport system. South Korea’s seamless integration of technology into everyday services could inspire us to push boundaries. Could we leverage advanced AI to predict and respond to fluctuations in demand more dynamically? Or introduce more interactive systems at bus stops to guide commuters in real-time, especially in areas less connected to MRT networks? Another key area is accessibility. As we adopt smarter systems, how do we ensure they remain inclusive for everyone, from the elderly to tourists who may not be tech-savvy? These aren’t massive leaps—they’re incremental improvements that focus on usability, accessibility, and efficiency. With clear goals and a collaborative approach, I believe Singapore can match or even set new standards in public transport technology over the next five years. It starts with the will to innovate and a commitment to serve every commuter better.

Is robotic vigilance the future of public safety?🤖 From compliance to monitoring, the safety impact for airports, railway stations, parks, malls, roads and public spaces is immeasurable.  Learn more with insights from the US, South Korea and Singapore: https://buff.ly/3OjVfQl #smartcities Transforma Insights

Our project #HKeToll received the Silver Award in the Smart Mobility category at the Hong Kong ICT Awards 2024. In collaboration with Transport Department, HKSAR Government and Autotoll Limited, we delivered the first multi-lane free-flow tolling system for Hong Kong – HKeToll. It is one of the latest smart mobility initiatives as promulgated in the Hong Kong Smart City Blueprint, aimed at utilising technologies to enhance the overall efficiency of the transport system in the city. By using Radio Frequency Identification technology with the support of Automatic Number Plate Recognition technology, motorists can pay toll remotely without having to stop at manual toll booths or passing through tolled traffic lanes. When a vehicle passes through the toll point, the system will automatically detect the vehicle and collect the toll through toll tag or vehicle registration mark. HKeToll has been implemented smoothly at all government tolled tunnels and the Tsing Sha Control Area, becoming the primary toll collection system for all vehicles passing through tunnels. It also facilitated the implementation of Time Varying Toll to rationalise the traffic flows at the three road harbour crossings since December 2023, achieving an apparent reduction of peak hour traffic queues.

Smart elevators improve train passenger transport Since the Jerusalem-Yitzhak Navon train station opened in 2018, the number of passengers has tripled. Even though the station has three large elevators, the current setup can't handle the load: given that the lower platform is 80 meters underground, it takes 8 minutes to reach the ground floor escalator, while an elevator ride takes only 25 seconds. As such, Electra Elevators is developing a solution to make the passenger transport process smarter and faster. It is installing cameras with special sensors in the station’s upper and lower lobbies that can count the number of people in real time. The information is then processed in the cloud with software developed with the elevator maker Otis. The software makes decisions based on Israel Railways parameters. Depending on the load in the field, it can direct the elevator control panels and decide whether and how to apply a special arrangement. For example, if 60 people are waiting in the lower platform lobby while no passengers are waiting on the ground floor to go down, the system will send two elevators to the lower platform. It also enables the train crew to connect to a reporting system in the cloud and monitor station traffic from any mobile phone or computer. #smartelevators #smartsolutions #trainstation
