Transit and Transportation: Case Studies

Case Studies

Activu large-scale visualization and collaboration solutions are used in a wide variety of markets and applications, including:


Amtrak

Amtrak operates a nationwide rail network, serving more than 500 destinations in 46 states on 21,000 miles of routes. Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor is the busiest passenger line in North America, with more than 1,700 trains operating over some portion of the Boston-New York-Washington route each day, carrying more than 9 million passengers annually. They had the need to replace an existing display wall that was driven by rear screen projectors, which after 10 years of use were no longer reliable or visually clear and required spare parts that were both expensive and difficult to source.


Baltimore TMC

The city of Baltimore was facing increasingly severe traffic congestion, which was proving difficult to manage in the absence of newer technology and capabilities. The situation prompted the Mayor’s Office, together with the State of Maryland and Baltimore Departments of Transportation, to secure funding to re-build the existing Transportation Management Center (TMC) and upgrade related infrastructure.


NJ Statewide Traffic Management Center

A new strategic, statewide Traffic Management Center was built to bring New Jersey’s main traffic management agencies, the NJ Turnpike Authority, NJ Department of Transportation (DOT) and State Police, together under one roof to support better monitoring, coordination, dispatch and response.


NJ Transit

NJ Transit’s Rail Operations Center (ROC) is used as a command, control and communication center to aid employees in providing superior performance and customer satisfaction. The Activu solution aids NJ Transit Field Track and support personnel in their effort to stay in direct contact with the ROC, rail stations and each other to enhance safety and efficiency.


Union Pacific

Union Pacific is the largest railroad in North America, covering 23 states across two-thirds of the United States. The landmark Harriman Dispatch Center, housing the main train dispatch and operations activities, was extensively refurbished, with a complete renovation of the main operations floor. A high-tech conference room was added as well as a visitors’ gallery where multi-media presentations are made to tour groups.


William P. Hobby Airport

William P. Hobby Airport is Houston’s second major commercial aviation facility, owned and operated by the City of Houston. Presently, Hobby Airport is served by five scheduled airlines and is the 6th largest hub airport for Southwest Airlines. Hobby Airport’s terminal complex, consisting of 80 acres, has undergone a multimillion dollar capital improvement expansion program designed to upgrade its facilities to meet today’s standards and future growth needs.
