The challenge
How to integrate 300+ vehicles via plug-and-play without starting a new engineering project each time?
High engineering effort per operator/backend
Custom adjustments for each delivery: increasing costs and risks
Challenging scalability with large quantities and changing operator assignments
Therefore, Stadler needed a standardized integration solution that could connect vehicles quickly and reliably to any backend system, independent of the later operator, following the 'plug-and-play' principle.
The solution
Standardized middleware in the vehicle
The ETC Platform provides all relevant data, from passenger information and count data to diagnostics and energy, in a uniform, operator-independent format.
Standardized interfaces for different operator backends
Reduction of complexity, risk, and costs in vehicle integration
Flexible use: one vehicle can be assigned to different operators without technical hurdles
Plug-and-play principle: no manufacturer-specific rework per operator rollout
Relevant functions of the ETC Platform

For vehicle manufacturers
Vehicle Cloud
Standardized connection of all vehicle types to the ETC Platform.
