r2p to supply NELC with iConnex real time solution

r2p won a competitive tender issued by the North East Lincolnshire (NELC) public transport operator due to the outstanding value and quality of the r2p solution. R2P already provides real time information in many of NELC bus stops. The r2p solution iConnex is going to continue and expand this service.

r2p will deliver the iConnex software, including the display viewer, map view and display maintenance.

iConnex real time information messaging is stop-specific and easy to use; maintenance is responsive and efficient. iConnex automatically updates the required data and r2p offers an excellent data validation and import service.

NELC chose to work with r2p as their solution provides the best coverage of their requirements combining high performance and first-rate service. Russell Gard, r2p UK Director, says: “We are very pleased to be chosen by NELC to continue to maintain and improve their RTI system. It is a good, forward looking authority and a valued customer. It is a pleasure to work with them providing good information for the people of North East Lincolnshire.”

The iConnex system is a well-established solution that many transit agencies rely on for their real time passenger information services for example in Milton Keynes, Reading and West Yorkshire. iConnex is not only good for bus transport, but for trams and trains as well.
