Account-Based Ticketing
Scheidt & Bachmann Booth 2853
See a live demo showing a fare collection
system with a mere three stations or stops,
but demonstrating how an operator of a large
multimodal system can leverage the benefi ts
of account-based ticketing to cut operating
costs; simplify change management; integrate
any third-party fare media or device; and future
proof one’s fare collection system to grow
as the operator’s system expands and technology evolves.
When using account-based ticketing (ABT), the fare management system’s intelligence
is transferred into the background system. Ticketing processes are executed in real-time
and in the cloud, invisible to the passenger. ABT stores customer, ticket and tariff data
only in the background system. So the various modules, such as fare calculation, always
have access to every existing data set within the system. This allows the tariff system to be
designed in a completely dynamic and fl exible way, without the passenger’s active involvement
in the processes.
Built to Rely On
New Flyer Booth 7827
New Flyer has 40 years and more
than 100 million miles of experience
with electric propulsion including
trolley, hybrid and fuel-cell buses.
Most recently, New Flyer electrifi cation
development has been focused on applying
battery-electric propulsion to its
proven Xcelsior platform. It is available
in 35-foot, 40-foot and 60-foot.
Lithium batteries plus regenerative
braking work together to provide a
range of approximately 120 miles, without
charging from an external source.
Recharging can be accomplished by
driving the bus under a charging gantry
and raising the charging pantograph
using a simple side-console control.
The Xcelsior Electric may also be recharged
at maintenance facilities using
either an overhead gantry, shop charger,
or portable charging solution.
