Transport

Applications that complement and improve the control, management and service offering of public and private transport systems. We developed the centralized management of all transportation related services in both public and private transportation systems. Control and service management of the public and private transportation:

Subway and rail

Tramways Buses and trolley buses Fleets Airports Energy Luggage handling

 Systems: Monitoring Supervision Remote control

Traveler information
Ticketing Vehicle monitoring system Telecommunications

Security

Key Features Passenger information systems Integrated software for management of subways transport systems. Subways operations

Offering rail switching and control system for centralized traffic control for railroads and subways.
Monitoring and security Security and protection of people & infrastructure are essential. Ticketing solutions It includes processing, control, monitoring and maintain of ticket distribution and validation operation.

Sub Way / Under Ground Railway System

A sub way railway system means to run the railway system below the surface of earth and protected by some safe and specific capsule, like tunnel, to facilitate the passengers travelling from one part of the city to the other.

Sub Soil Water Table

Due to urbanization and industrialization the recharge is reducing day by day and due to increase the No. of tubewel , the ground water level which used to exit 4.5 meter below surface started deck lining rapidly and deck line of 15.5 meter was notices during 1960-1991(WASA 1996) which gone down 28 meters in 2007 WASA 2008
