The millions of people who travel by train, bus, tram or cable car every day expect to be safe throughout their journey. In case something out of the ordinary does occur, they expect to be able to speak to someone in control and get instant help – even if they happen to be in a moving vehicle at the time. The Commend solution makes this easy to achieve.
Applications and key benefits
Intercom stations and loudspeakers for Public Address purposes and announcements on bus and tram stops, train and underground platforms, and bus depots
Intercom stations that integrate into terminals and devices (e. g., ticket vending machines, access gates, turnstiles, etc.), as well as software-based Intercom stations for existing multimedia info terminals offer passengers instant assistance at the touch of a button.
- Multi-functional Commend Control Desks make responding to emergency situations quick and easy.
- Automatic warning and reassurance messages can be triggered at the touch of a button to deescalate critical situations.
- Coordinating help and rescue services via radio communication, directing staff via Intercom or mobilising special forces via telephone – all via the same central Control Desk
At public transport stations, natural communication and clear intelligibility are essential, despite loud train or traffic noise in the background. Information arrives loud and clear without the need to check back, so mishearing the person at the other end can be eliminated. This way, not a single word or precious second is lost in emergency situations.
