Taipei’s eBus System Powered by the VITA-350P
Managing the logistics, scheduling, and whereabouts of a bus fleet in a large urban city is no easy task. Traffic and congestion, bus mechanical failure, driver behavior, and other factors make it difficult to keep buses on route and on time. In addition, providing up-to-date information to passengers is a formidable service goal. The ability to know when and where a bus is via the internet, telephone or at the bus stop itself can make all the difference to a busy commuter. The Taipei City Public Transportation Office set out with the goal to create a system which was both time saving and easy for passengers to use, as well as effective for central dispatch and backend controllers to use.

Cut Fuel Usage and Reduce Operating Costs with Advantech Mobile Data Terminal Solutions
In the face of economic recession, and with the recent fluctuation of global fuel prices, it has become an increasingly important task for dispatchers to come up with solutions for maximizing fuel efficiency and reducing operation costs. More and more, dispatch clients are not satisfied having only an AVL (Automatic Vehicle Locator) device as their main vehicle tracking system. Additionally, they are seeking more sophisticated, value-add devices to aid in navigation, two-way interaction between driver and dispatcher, and data collection from vehicle performance metrics, so that they can also maximize fuel usage.

Managing Mobile Resources is More Efficient, Cost-Effective, with Advantech Fleet Management Solutions
Although there are many communications devices in use in the vehicle today, few solutions are
available that enable real-time interaction between the vehicle, its cargo, and a command center.
You might think that the plethora of cell phones, laptops, and GPS devices would have solved
this problem long ago. But the fact remains: there is no integration between these systems or
with the corporate network that oversees their operation.

TREK-755 Secure Electronic Payment System for Transportation Service Vehicles
A major transportation service in one of the largest cities in North America needed to integrate a secure self-service payment terminal into its vehicles. It was soon obvious that a panel PC would be essential for quick implementation, as well as for convenient customer use. To ensure cost-effectiveness, it was crucial that the touch screen display be extremely durable and vandal-proof. System reliability was another key requirement, as the service vehicles are in constant operation. A fanless design with no moving parts was also an important feature, mainly to achieve reliable performance, and to ensure that system downtime and the time required for maintenance would be minimized.

MARS-3100S Increased Performance and Efficiency in a Harsh Environment
In recent years, environmental protection has become an increasingly important issue in the development of new energy. To meet increased demand, wind power has become a booming source of renewable energy in China.
Most wind power generator farms are located in deserts or near the seaside. In order to ensure that power generators operate stably in harsh environments involving dust, salt air, vibration, heat and electrical noise, the generator’s own self-protection diagnostics are important, as are detailed daily inspections by site operators. The timeliness of daily inspection is crucial, and entails staff members recording operational data and sending it to back-end data center servers for data analysis and proactive monitoring of system status. Advantech’s MARS-3100S meets all these critical requirements perfectly.
