PaderSprinter Kompass goes live
New Public Transport App comes with innovative features for accessibility
Our long-standing customer, PaderSprinter GmbH, recently released the new mobility app "PaderSprinter Kompass". The free smartphone application offers comprehensive passenger information in real time and helps passengers use public transport more easily, especially those with limited mobility.
A special focus of the app is on accessible use by blind and visually impaired passengers. For this purpose, the PaderSprinter vehicles were equipped with our ivanto communication modules. Via smartphone, users can remotely operate the stop buttons and thus signal the bus driver their wish to stop. An acoustic signal helps locate the boarding door, which can also be requested via the app if required.
The newly developed route-accurate vehicle radar provides information at multiple stops about approaching buses of a previously selected route and direction, thus simplifying boarding. This innovative route-filtered view is activated via the departure monitor and was realized in cooperation with visually impaired users from Paderborn.
PaderSprinter is responsible for public transport in Paderborn. With around 100 buses on 29 routes, it transports around 20 million passengers a year.
The application is available for download in the Google Play Store for Android smartphones and in the App Store for iOS devices.

WLAN test operation in VAG buses successfully completed
In February, Freiburger Verkehrs AG (VAG) - initially in four articulated buses - started test operation of a free WiFi. The test operation has now been successfully completed.
In recent weeks, VAG has equipped all other buses with the necessary technology. With immediate effect, the free WiFi is now available in all 65 VAG buses. In the next step - probably by the end of the year - all trams will now be equipped with the necessary WiFi technology.
The VAG Management Board is delighted with the successful test operation. "The free WiFi offer was very well received by our passengers during the test operation and is running smoothly," informed board member Oliver Benz.
His fellow board member Stephan Bartosch added that in the second half of the year the entire light rail fleet will be equipped with WiFi: "The technical equipment with WiFi in our trams represents a small challenge compared to our buses. Here we are dealing with different vehicle types and complex cabling, hence the longer implementation period".
VAG's goal is to offer free WiFi in all buses and trams by the end of the year, thereby increasing passenger comfort.

“Safety4Bikes” and supporting projects
The new research project “Safety4Bikes – assistance systems to raise safety of cycling children ” explores innovative connectivity’s of bicycles. The project is sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and has a term of 3 years till December 2019. The aim of the project is to increase the safety of cyclists in road traffic in general and for children in particular.
Sensors on bicycle and helmet record the surrounding. Potential hazards are analysed and signaled by helmet and bicycle actuators. The car driver is informed via Car2X about his immediate vicinity. Our consortium consists of economic enterprises (UVEX, PFAU Tec, Valtech) and research facilities (Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, University of Paderborn, OFFIS e.V.). The activities are supported by the Society for Empirical Sociological Research, Nürnberg. Safety4Bikes is another building block of a SmartCity, connecting additional road users like cyclists.
In addition to our IT solution for urban mobility ivanto, we are also focusing on future mobility concepts in which the bicycle plays a central role. Thus, the bicycle is included as a smart means of transport in the multimodal mobility route. A possible use of cargobikes is considered separately in order, among other things, to transport smaller loads within the cities alternatively.
Bus.Hoer.Stelle: Smart stations in public transport
The intelligent bus stop is the latest building block in the efforts of the VKU in the district of Unna for more accessibility in public transport.
The Bus.Hör.Stelle expands the ivanto system of GeoMobile for passengers who are traveling without a smartphone. The smart station interacts via Bluetooth with the incoming bus and announces its line number and its destination. At the press of a button, the departure monitor informs about the upcoming departures by means of voice output.
The Bus.Hör.Stelle is designed as a help for blind or visually impaired people and sends a continuous pilot tone. But also those, who can not read or who have difficulties with the timetable, get quick help. For the hearing impaired, the speech output feeds an induction loop.
The smart bus stop is part of the project “JederBus”. Financed by the county of Unna, it aims to enable disabled to use public transport.
