Deploy smarter, safer and more efficient transport subsystems

Today, cloud services are vital for smart services development and for next level passenger experiences. Rainbow, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise’s cloud solution, enriches passenger applications or kiosks with multimedia communication features integrated via APIs to enhance interactions between passengers and staff.

Through smart services, passengers with reduced mobility experience a safer and hassle-free journey as more personalized and timely assistance can be offered with location-based services and asset tracking.

Safety and security is priority number one for transportation operators. Operation control centres are now empowered with rich communications (conferencing, chat, video) using the Dispatch Console and Emergency Notification Server. Used together, the various media improve reaction and coordination in emergency situations.
