Passenger information systems supporting smart mobility

In an increasingly connected world, operators and manufacturers must distinguish themselves by offering comfort and safety conditions that meet the new expectations of their passengers for an enjoyable journey. Offering a fully integrated, connected, reliable and scalable service is the challenge for manufacturers to differentiate themselves and offer a quality service to their passengers. The experience acquired by ACTIA Systems over many years in the railway sector allows us to combine the comfort of information, audio and visual quality, and the reliability of equipment. In addition to the existing equipment, which constitutes the basis of the system offer, WE propose products adapted to each customer. The modular and scalable architecture of each peripheral and the Design to Cost approach make it possible to offer customised products that are both competitive and adaptable to the requirements of manufacturers and the train’s operating needs. All our solutions comply with the standards EN 50155 & EN45545.
