Telematics in public transportation - Field of passenger check-in systems
Overview
Background & policy context:
There are emphatic changes taking place lately in the conception of and approach to information systems, passenger devices and check-in system solutions in all types of public transportation, along with rapid development in the field of ICT in recent years.
These new integrated approaches enable the provision of mandatory services in a more effective way and more comprehensively than autonomous solutions which are still being used and installed. It is possible to provide integrated services with considerable added value in such solutions that were either inaccessible or provided as individual or individually paid services not such a long time ago.
