The plat­form for con­nect­ed mo­bil­i­ty

We shape the dig­i­tal fu­ture of pub­lic trans­port

ETC So­lu­tions of­fers an in­te­grat­ed plat­form for op­er­a­tions, pas­sen­ger in­for­ma­tion, ve­hi­cle in­te­gra­tion, qual­i­ty man­age­ment, and re­port­ing, built on a shared data foun­da­tion for ef­fi­cient process­es and in­formed de­ci­sions. For pub­lic trans­port au­thor­i­ties, rail­way com­pa­nies, metro, tram and bus op­er­a­tors, ve­hi­cle man­u­fac­tur­ers, and in­fra­struc­ture op­er­a­tors.

Why ETC So­lu­tions

Your chal­lenge. Our so­lu­tion.

Mo­bil­i­ty data you can't trust?

Dif­fer­ent for­mats, man­u­al con­sol­i­da­tion, miss­ing met­rics for traf­fic per­for­mance and qual­i­ty as­sess­ment? We de­liv­er plau­si­ble, stan­dard­ized ac­tu­al data.

For pub­lic trans­port au­thor­i­ties

Too many sys­tems, too lit­tle clar­i­ty?

Me­dia breaks be­tween plan­ning and op­er­a­tion, dif­fer­ent data sta­tus­es in the con­trol cen­ter and ve­hi­cle, high man­u­al ef­fort dur­ing dis­rup­tions? We es­tab­lish a seam­less process chain.

For rail­way com­pa­nies

Sep­a­rate sys­tems. No con­tin­u­ous overview?

Bus, tram, and sub­way of­ten run in sep­a­rate tools and data sta­tus­es. In case of dis­rup­tions, it takes too long for the con­trol cen­ter, teams, and pas­sen­gers to be con­sis­tent­ly in­formed. We con­sol­i­date the con­trol cen­ter, ve­hi­cles, and out­put chan­nels on a com­mon data ba­sis.

For metro, tram, and bus op­er­a­tors

In­te­gra­tion as a risk in­stead of plug & play?

High en­gi­neer­ing ef­fort, un­clear spec­i­fi­ca­tions, re­work upon ve­hi­cle ac­cep­tance? We of­fer doc­u­ment­ed in­ter­faces for smooth con­nec­tiv­i­ty to all back­end sys­tems.

For ve­hi­cle man­u­fac­tur­ers

Core ser­vices

Func­tions that con­nect pub­lic trans­port

For pub­lic trans­port au­thor­i­ties

Qual­i­ty man­age­ment

Trans­paren­cy over qual­i­ty and need for ac­tion in on­go­ing op­er­a­tions.

Dis­cov­er func­tion

Op­er­a­tion, con­trol, and plan­ning sys­tem

Fo­cus: Pas­sen­ger in­for­ma­tion

When pas­sen­gers have to guess, the sys­tem has failed

Wrong dis­plays. De­layed an­nounce­ments. Sys­tems that work past each oth­er. Pas­sen­gers lose trust, op­er­a­tors lose con­trol. We change that.

The ETC Plat­form makes pas­sen­ger in­for­ma­tion com­plete­ly dig­i­tal: from the con­trol cen­ter to the ve­hi­cle to the stop. Real-time data, au­to­mat­ic dis­rup­tion com­mu­ni­ca­tion, and con­sis­tent dis­plays on all chan­nels from one sys­tem.

  • Real-time pas­sen­ger in­for­ma­tion across all chan­nels

  • Mod­u­lar and scal­able, adapts to your in­fra­struc­ture

  • Open stan­dards and API in­te­gra­tions for seam­less con­nec­tiv­i­ty

About ETC So­lu­tions

The dig­i­tal back­bone of pub­lic trans­port for over 25 years

ETC So­lu­tions grew out of real-world ex­pe­ri­ence and guides trans­port com­pa­nies, pub­lic trans­port au­thor­i­ties, and ve­hi­cle man­u­fac­tur­ers through every phase of dig­i­ti­za­tion. We bring peo­ple, process­es, and sys­tems to the ta­ble and cre­ate clar­i­ty where end­less align­ment, fric­tion, and siloed so­lu­tions oth­er­wise dom­i­nate dai­ly op­er­a­tions. The re­sult: com­plex­i­ty be­comes re­li­a­bil­i­ty and pas­sen­gers ar­rive on time and well-in­formed. Proven across 120+ trans­port com­pa­nies in Eu­rope.

What our cus­tomers say

VDV 3.1

Thanks to the so­lu­tion from ETC So­lu­tions, we can now re­li­ably trans­mit our for­ma­tion data ac­cord­ing to the VDV 3.1 stan­dard.

This is a crucial step for us to ensure precise and current passenger information and the quality of our data in all information systems.

Qual­i­ty con­trol

The ETC Plat­form forms the ba­sis for na­tion­wide qual­i­ty con­trol in re­gion­al pub­lic trans­port.

Thanks to the quality database, the requirements of the federal government, cantons, and transport companies can be mapped in a common solution. Central data collection and automatic reporting provide more transparency and facilitate the control of regional public transport.

Fleet in­te­gra­tion

The col­lab­o­ra­tion with ETC So­lu­tions was char­ac­ter­ized from the start by a deep un­der­stand­ing of our busi­ness mod­el and the re­quire­ments of the mod­ern rail mar­ket.

We were particularly impressed by the combination of technical excellence, rapid implementation, and a highly available cloud platform provided, offering our customers maximum operational safety and trust. As a result, it allows us to integrate vehicles in days instead of months, a crucial competitive advantage for our business model.
