The Vehicle Platform is producing various data about the vehicle operation, The main component of our Vehicle Platform is our VCG (Vehicle Communication Gateway) which has the official ITxPT label. This means that the customer can decide to have an IT infrastructure in the vehicle based on components from different suppliers. The VCG makes sure that all necessary data are flowing where they should. Of course, we can also deliver the complete hardware platform, with some or all of the following components:
- Automatic Passenger Counting (APC)
- External destination displays
- Internal TFT displays for passenger information and infotainment
- CCTV
- Multi Application Driver Terminal (MADT)
- Sales and Ticketing equipment (tablet, NFC scanner, payment terminal)
The Tenix VCG collects data from FMS Gateway, which is a standardized, manufacturer independent interface for busses. FMS data give useful insight of the vehicle and drivers’ performance, which can help optimize vehicle usage and utilization. In addition, data is, where needed, collected from proprietary interfaces to further enhance the data collection, such as battery condition on electric busses.
Data collected from the Tenix Vehicle Platform can easily generate additional value through other Tenix products:
