Consat expands to Stockholm – delivers CTS solution for Transdev
Consat Telematics deepens its partnership with Stockholm-based Transdev. In late summer , the traffic operator went live with Consat's solution, CTS, which has been adapted to cover requirements regarding on-board systems and traffic management .
- We are incredibly happy that Transdev chose us as a partner for the traffic contracts in Stockholm and look forward to the collaboration, says Oscar Rosenstam, Product Manager for Consat Telematics.
The transport sector is in a paradigm shift. What used to be primarily about transporting people from A to B is today characterized by high IT requirements. In connection with this change, the transport operator Transdev has sought new solutions to meet SL's (Stockholm Public Transport Authority) requirements in Stockholm. Previously, SL installed its own equipment in the buses to cover its' needs, which is not the case today, which means that the bus operators are responsible for the corresponding information from the buses. When Consat Telematics presented its innovative solution in November last year, the collaboration between the parties began shortly thereafter and in August the services went live. The delivery will be the first of CTS' new web-based driver interfaces that can be displayed in screens controlled by third parties.
"As customers set higher technical requirements, transport operators need to maintain high quality; CTS is part of the chain that delivers the data that SL demands. We as suppliers have worked with this type of data stream for decades, while there are new requirements for bus operators, says Oscar Rosenstam.
Even if there are changing technical requirements, it is always the traveler experience that is at the heart of public transport.
"It is incredibly important for us to have full control of our service deliveries to the customer. Here we see, among other things, that the monitoring services in CTS together with Transdev's real-time platform help us get more information right down to the component level in the buses, while at the same time enabling fast and effective troubleshooting in the event of a malfunction. It can give us an even better service to our travelers, says Adam Fall, CIO at Transdev.

An innovative solution
Consat Telematics' solution suits actors on both the client and operation side. It is scalable in both size and functionality, with a number of different interfaces that make it adaptable to the customer's existing platforms both on board in the vehicle and in the backend. The fact that Transdev is now starting to use Consat's solution is a milestone for the telematics company, which has not previously delivered its CTS system to the Stockholm region.
"We are very excited about how the delivery will be received by Transdev. The project also includes on-demand traffic, which is a very exciting area in public transport and something that we see coming in several of our markets. We are really looking forward to developing a solution for it together with Transdev, says Oscar Rosenstam before he concludes:
"It's fantastic fun to work with Transdev, there are many enthusiastic people on their part and it really feels like we are building something cool together.
