Mobility industry provider 647 Vix Technology has announced a commitment to support RTIG over air protocol. As part of its growing commitment towards Open Standards, the compay says this is an important step to allow ticket machines to send real time AVL updates to the Vix central systems. Of even more significance, it will also potentially allow electronic ticket machines procured by operators to interwork seamlessly with servers procured by local authorities.

As a result public transport providers will be able utilise existing and new technology in parallel.”
