Problem addressed

The conventional in-vehicle information system is limited by the transmission bandwidth, which can only display simple information and fail to meet the individual needs of passengers. Besides, the conventional in-vehicle information system is inconvenient for maintenance because it cannot be connected to the internet and bus operators cannot update user-preferred contents timely through cloud platform.

Innovation
  • By using "Multiple Ring Networking Technology", one MOST server on board can connect to hundreds of high definition display terminals.
  • Provide internet service to meet the needs of different passengers.
  • Provide big data cloud service for bus operators to manage the system and the collected data.
Key impact
  • Provide in-vehicle connectivity technology based on MOST-150 standard.
  • Provide better user experience for long-distance travellers.
  • Provide business intelligence solution through big data cloud service.
