Bus integration systems

System integration, the key to the success of in-vehicle devices and passenger entertainment systems

In the bus and coach environment, it is essential to integrate the system. We may have various connection options, such as SAE, ticketing, driving monitoring , entertainment systems , Wi-Fi , CCTV , etc. Traditionally, each environment involved the installation of a "black box" (or "black box" in technical jargon), which performed a specific function, as an increasing number of systems were added to the vehicle and the number of boxes black has increased. down to the costly and complex installation, maintenance and operation process.

Examples of typical “black boxes” existing in a bus.

To avoid this problem, it is convenient that entertainment solutions are prepared to integrate third-party environments, which reduces the number of elements to be installed and reduces the number of isolated functions.

Benefits of system integration

The two benefits we can get are:

How to achieve this systems integration?

Several projects aimed at integrating systems such as SIRI or “Service Interface for Real-Time Information” allow the exchange of travel data, stops, routes, etc. or the new ITXTS project to standardize device protocols. on board.

ITXPT or Information Technology for Public Transport is a new standard for information exchange.

This standard allows systems that conform to this implementation to share certain information and know the systems installed in the vehicle.

You can also integrate HTML5 based software services with all the richness available in these applications. There is even a possibility of virtualization, that is to say having an internal application server on which other applications are installed.

System integration and unification is a pending topic that will need to be addressed by various manufacturers over the next few years.
