CCTV Integration with INFOtransit
Displays for Onboard Security
Luminator Technology Group Booth 7432
Luminator is featuring CCTV integration with INFOtransit Displays
for onboard security of passengers, drivers and property. The
security and safety of passengers, drivers, and onboard property
is a top priority for transit agencies. By integrating and displaying
the video stream of on-board Apollo CCTV cameras with onboard
INFOtransit TFT displays, riders will immediately see that
any crime committed is easily video recorded. While this may
not always prevent a crime from happening on a transit vehicle,
it certainly notifi es the violator(s) that high-defi nition video recordable
evidence is available enable quick apprehension by law
enforcement offi cials. Liability claims against a transit agency can
also be quickly and accurately video documented.
The Apollo video solution can be easily accessed by the
transit agency personnel as well as law enforcement offi cials.
Each bus is equipped with a highly advanced DVR and a wireless
access point that allows law enforcement offi cials to log-in locally
through their in-vehicle laptops when within 100 feet of the
bus. This gives fi rst responders a live view of onboard activity to
immediately assist in real-time if needed.
Your Virtual Mechanic
Proterra Booth 9055
Proterra, a leading innovator in heavy-duty electric transportation,
will be featuring the Proterra Diagnostic Tool at its
booth. The Diagnostic Tool is a diagnostic platform that allows

see faults and resolve
many issues directly through the interface without physically
removing bus panels. A virtual mechanic, the Diagnostic Tool

including monitoring of the overhead charging system. Wi-Fi
enabled and off ering both Bluetooth and USB connectivity, the
Diagnostic Tool provides untethered freedom of movement in
and around the bus.
