TRIPS integrates multiple technologies to inform a transit
rider’s decisions and create a safe, seamless passenger journey and
employee experience
AECOM (NYSE:ACM), the world’s premier infrastructure firm, today
announced it has launched its newest integrated technology
solution, Transportation Resilient Integrated Passenger Solution
(TRIPS), which supports the safe return to service for the entire
passenger journey and employee experience for transit agencies.
TRIPS integrates data and technologies for each point of the
passenger’s journey – from helping individuals decide when and how
to travel, to informing transit operators when stations or vehicles
are nearing capacity.
“Transit agencies around the world are facing unparalleled
challenges as a result of the pandemic including determining how to
deliver their vital services while also managing the safety of
their passengers and employees,” said Steve Morriss, AECOM’s
president of Design and Consulting Services Americas. “TRIPS is a
product of the creative, solutions-focused experts at AECOM who are
continuously seeking innovative ways to provide transit agencies
with a clear understanding of how integrated technology solutions
can help establish a safer return to service.”
TRIPS leverages new and existing technologies to integrate
automatic passenger tracking, touchless technology, cameras, motion
sensors and related solutions that create a seamless and safe
passenger journey and employee experience by:
- providing riders with real-time trip planning information
- managing congestion at station platforms
- controlling boarding and alighting to maintain social
distancing on vehicles
- supporting safe arrival at final destinations; and
- communicating assignments to operators to avoid congregating at
depots.
AECOM was recently selected by the Port Authority Trans Hudson
Corporation (PATH) in New York to provide implementation services
for their COVID recovery plan including policy, technology,
operations and public health. TRIPS will be used in the development
of the passenger metering strategy and technology deployment.
“We’re honored to partner with some of the most notable transit
agencies to incorporate innovative technology and operational
effectiveness in the wake of the pandemic,” says Tom Prendergast,
AECOM’s head of Transit within the Design and Consulting Services
Americas business. “Through an increased use of technology and more
efficient approaches to the most common passenger touchpoints,
we’re striving to improve safety at each point of the journey,
protect the health and well-being of travelers and help restore
public confidence in transit.”
Amid the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic, AECOM is taking
action to help ensure the safety and well-being of its employees,
maintain operational resilience and provide solutions that can help
clients and communities along the path to recovery. Learn more
