Mobility and Logistics

Key challenges and strategies

The current global challenges of carbon footprint, growing cargo and personal requirements and increasing security standards are mandating a more efficient, more integrated, more user-centered, accessible and affordable transportation systems that, in time, will supersede current combustion-engine single-vehicle-centric models. This transformation to new fully integrated models has begun already and will change global commercial/cargo including private mobility.

Today, travel and logistics are associated with waiting and delay, e.g. traffic, traffic lights, loading, document clearance, and many other often unforeseeable hurdles. With integrated and ideally seamless mobility with minimal time-consuming checkpoints, huge resources could be saved. For instance, mobility hubs can enable multimodal transportation which links to mobility-as-a-service (MaaS). Also, ticketless travel together with further innovations in micro-mobility will increase “last-mile” connections.

International transit and transportation is using digital identification technology to increase throughput, improve security, and help drive a better performance. This includes a move towards a seamless digital documentation/information flow which enhances security not only using digital document workflows or digital payment but also the use biometric and facial recognition to improve efficiency and throughput.

An integrated mobility ecosystem is placing also more emphasis on customer experience making transactions easier. They’re also simplifying in-person transactions with mobility providers and authorities which are offering from multimodal transportation, autonomous and connected vehicle technologies, usage-based pricing and much more.

Using a ground, sea and air integrating AI-augmented mobility ecosystem we can use Big Data for data analytics and mobility system prediction which may help to reduce waiting time, transit/travel time, manage congestion, manage resources, improve regulatory compliance, support traffic control entities, enable dynamic policy-making, and deliver many other benefits.

OPTIMAL CONNECTIVITY provides services to railway operator and railway manufacturing companies like MHI, Alstom, ABB etc. Our services include procurement, project planning, installation and on-site testing of entire solutions.

Concerning hardware products, OPTIMAL CONNECTIVITY can provide only a relatively small part to such global infrastructures like public transport approved items like antennas, low loss radio frequency cables, assemblies, connectors, routers, WiFi Access Points, DC/DC Converters, AC/DC Converters and fiber optic cable assemblies, etc. for transmission of data, video, control and electrical power. Our high-quality products are approved by local authorities are the building blocks of our solutions for e-mobility, public transport, marine vessels and aircrafts.

We also provide solution design for public transport systems like for road and rail, marine and aviation vehicles under strict compliance with the relevant standards like EN 45545, DIN 5510-2, EN 50155, NF F 16-101, NFPA 130, EN 60331 for radio equipment on rolling stock. Please check the table below for major relevant standards which are applicable in railway & public transport business.
