FLORHAM PARK, N.J.,
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 finalized 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 finalized 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 finalized 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 program, 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."
