Cubic Transportation System executives to
highlight mobility-as-a-service, Virtual Ticketing Agent, mobile
ticketing and trip planning
Cubic Transportation Systems (CTS), a business unit of Cubic
Corporation (NYSE:CUB), today announced that its executives will
discuss topics related to “LEAD the TRANSITion,” the theme of the
UITP Global Public Transport Summit in Montreal, Quebec, Canada
from May 15 – 18. CTS will also demonstrate how the company and its
transportation agency clients are leading innovation in the
sector.
“Managing the transportation demands within the available
infrastructure is critical today, and continues to grow as the
global population becomes more urbanized. This must be managed by
intelligent use of travel patterns and behavior to more equitably
distribute traveler loads on the public and private transportation
networks,” said Matt Cole, president of CTS. “Cubic’s NextCity
vision brings together the technologies needed to support this
equity.”
CTS executives will present at the following sessions:
- “Mobility as a Service – from vision
to reality,” during the “Next Steps in the Ticketing Journey”
session;Monday, May 15; 11:00 – 12:30 p.m. (local time); Level 5,
513A;Presenter: Andy Taylor, director of strategy at CTS.
- “Planning: system, trip and mobile
apps,” during the Focus Session A;Tuesday, May 16; 11:00 a.m. –
12:30 p.m. (local time); Level 5;Presenter: Ken Karnes, business
development director of mobile technologies at CTS.
In addition, the following Cubic innovations and projects will
be on display at the conference at booth 2L136 in Hall 2 from
Monday, May 15, to Wednesday, May 17, 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. (local
time) at the Palais des Congrès de Montréal.
- Gateless Gateline: a prototype
system that integrates future ticketing technologies including
biometrics to support a doubled rate of passenger throughput. The
fast-track entry system is designed to meet a projected doubling in
the number of passenger rail journeys over the next 30 years. The
program is being developed at the Cubic Innovation Centre in
London, partially funded by a grant from the U.K.’s Railway
Standards and Safety Board. This will be the first public showing
of this prototype technology and system.
- The Cubic Virtual Ticket Agent:
a hybrid of a virtual walk-up ticket office and ticket vending
machine video-linked to a live operator at a call center. The
system helps public transit agencies to decrease or eliminate the
need for customer service representatives at the least busy
stations on a rail line, improve customer service at unattended
devices and more easily address clients speaking different
languages.
- Mobile ticketing and trip
planning: various demonstrations of mobile ticketing and trip
planning including the Chicago Transit Authority’s Ventra system
mobile app, as well as a bar code-based mobile ticketing app Cubic
deployed in Germany.
