INIT Receives German Innovations Award

The Intermodal Transport Control Systems (ITCS) expert panel of the German Transport Association (VDV) recently honored INIT with its 2009 ITCS Innovations Award, presented to recognize innovative achievements in the field.

The jury specifically cited INIT’s “online detour” feature, which it called a practice-oriented and user-directed function for incident management. Whereas public transit agencies previously had to plan ahead of time to institute a detour, “online detour” allows navigation of service disturbances on the spur of the moment. The INIT system provides all necessary information on a consistent basis to all subsequent levels including vehicles, drivers, and all real-time information systems.
