Karlsruhe (euro adhoc) - Karlsruhe / Ingolstadt, December 14th 2011.
The Ingolstadt-based transport company, INVG, has commited itself to
innovation through init. Their goal? To increase the efficiency of
one of the strongest economic regions in Germany, and in particular,
to improve the information available to the approximately 13 million
passengers. To do this, the most modern telematics system, supplied
by INIT GmbH (Karlsruhe), a subsidiary of init innovation in traffic
systems AG, will be used.

The specialists for the world's leading systems supplier of
transportation telematics will equip the INVG control center and 157
vehicles with hardware and software. The order volume amounts to over
2 million.

The INVG already uses the planning software, MOBILE-PLAN from init's
subsidiary initplan. And now, a decision for the introduction of a
traffic management system has been made using init's Intermodal
Transport Control System (MOBILE-ITCS). The system from INIT, which
has been used by numerous public transport authorities worldwide, was
INVG's first choice.

Complete solution for traffic management and ticketing

As a central management tool, the ITCS provides the dispatcher with
all the information they need to manage the traffic efficiently at a
glance. The ITCS shows the locations of all vehicles, and maps it
into concise presentations. Traffic disruptions are indicated
immediately by reports on affected vehicles with system alarms. The
ITCS supports the dispatchers by giving automatatedsuggestions to
resolve problems and restore regular service.

The crucial element in the vehicles is the combined on-board
computers and ticket printers, EVENDpc, which functions as a complete
solution to all ticketing and ITCS activities in the vehicle. It
ensures a perfect communication flow with the control center, and a
reliable data supply and data disposal in the vehicle. The EVENDpc
also supports the traditional sale of tickets by the driver. As the
on-board computer, EVENDpc is also responsible for all passenger
information.

Passengers of INVG are the winners

The passengers of INVG will be the main winners in the introduction
of the new control and information system. By linking to other
information systems such as DEFAS, (implemented on January 1st 2011
as Bayern-Fahrplan), and through real-time data transfer, the INVG
will offer its passengers a smooth and timely service with secure
connections in the future. Stop information will be announced in the
vehicle by onboard speakers and displays provided by init. With these
service improvements, INVG hopes to convince even more motorists to
the use bus and train in the future.

The new ITCS will offer other transport companies the opportunity to
use the system. "This is precisely the strength of our system - it is
an intermodal, interoperable and multi-client capable system. That
means it integrates and processes the data out of different sources.
It is also possible that other transport companies can connect
without jeapordizing the privacy of their own information and data .
The system will increase their operating efficiency while enabling
new services for passengers in the Ingolstadt region," said Dr.
Jürgen Greschner, board member of init.
