GUILHERAND-GRANGES, France and
FLORHAM PARK, N.J., Nov. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Conduent
Transportation, a unit of business process services and solutions
company Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT), today
announced that it has installed a new contactless open payment
system on the Adelaide tram system
overseen by the South Australian Public Transport Authority
(SAPTA). This six-month pilot program started on September 20th. Adelaide travelers can now use their Visa,
MasterCard and NFC-enabled smart devices to pay for their fares on
the 24 trams throughout the city. Adelaide is the fifth largest city in
Australia, with a population of
approximately 1.4 million.
Leveraging Conduent's ATLAS® system, which is
already used by the Adelaide
transit authority, the company has deployed its ATLAS Open Media
Pay As You Go module and validators on the vehicles for onboard
fare payment. During the pilot, Conduent's new system will operate
alongside the metroCARD validating system on Adelaide trams.
ATLAS Open Media modernizes a transit network's fare
collection by enabling a variety of transit ticketing payment
methods, including EMV contactless cards, digital bank wallets, NFC
and QR code. Given recent health concerns associated with COVID-19,
contactless fare collection systems have become a beneficial tool
that transportation operators can use to help maintain a safe
environment for their passengers.
"Enabling contactless payment on trams is the first phase of
modernizing fare collection across the Adelaide Metro network," said Anne Alford, Executive Director, SAPTA. "By
leveraging this technology, Adelaide will have easier, faster, safer and
more accessible public transport. Implementation of the pilot was
seamless with Adelaide Metro able
to utilize its existing partnership with Conduent Transportation to
employ its expertise and technology."
This is the latest collaboration between Conduent Transportation
and the South Australian Government. For more than 25 years,
Conduent has delivered ticketing and fleet management systems,
including terminals and on-site support.
"We're excited to work with the South Australian Government on
the modernization of their ticketing system," said Jean-Charles Zaia, General Manager, Public
Transit at Conduent Transportation. "We are seeing transit networks
all around the world employing technology to advance and improve
their fare collection while enhancing the transit experience for
the users."
Conduent fare collection systems are in use in more than 400
public transit networks of all sizes around the world. Most
recently, ATLAS Ops has been implemented by transit authorities
including Flanders
(Belgium) and will soon be
deployed in New Jersey (USA)
and Lyon (France).
