-  Smart Fleet Management System

• Real-time management of fleet operations, as well as monitoring and reporting functions (data analysis and intelligence; fleet routing; vehicle location tracking; in-vehicle monitoring; incident reporting, and more)

-  Inertia Management Unit

• By using accelerometers and gyroscopes to calculate the direction of movement and speed of the assets or personnel in an indoor environment where satellite is not available for positioning (i.e. tunnel networks), a worker's location can be accurately tracked. Automatic alerts will be triggered if the worker is detected to have unexpectedly stopped.

-  Face pay

• Commuters can enjoy a seamless and pleasant journey with a contactless entry system. Just pay with your face and walk through to the train platform.
