Providing a more convenient experience for passengers across multiple modes of transport.

We are always finding ways to improve passenger experience and enhance efficiency.

Our solutions enable passengers to use their mobiles for travel planning and payment across multiple modes of transport – including new 'hands-free' ticketing technology.

Hitachi's 360Pass mobile app for passengers serves multiple modes of transport, giving passengers numerous ways to plan and pay for their route.

  • Multiple modes of transport: Trains, buses, e-scooters, car share schemes, parking – even funiculars!

  • Multiple ways to pay: Traditional ticketing, mobile 'tap in tap out', QR codes, and 'Hands-free' Bluetooth ticketing technology – a world first.

  • Interoperable with 360Motion: Hitachi's real-time data analytics platform creates a 'digital twin' of an entire transportation network.

  • Effortless: Hands-free ticketing - powered by Bluetooth – means boarding public transport while never having to take your phone out of your pocket.

  • Value for Money: The best possible fare is applied automatically.

  • Stress-Free: Live information about service delays or congestion helps with peace of mind and safety.

  • Flexible: The passenger mobile app can be white label or Hitachi branded (360Pass), available on iOS and Android

  • Enhanced Data: Detailing complete multi-modal journeys, supporting the optimisation of timetables

  • Removing congestion: The technology can potentially remove bottlenecks around ticket barriers by using the technology at the entrance to platforms or vehicles.

  • Integrates fully with 360Motion.

Discover how 'hands-free ticketing' works

The technology uses a network of sensor nodes installed at strategic points across a transport network, including trains, buses, and parking lots at stops and stations. These connect with the user's 360Pass app via Bluetooth.

Once a passenger begins a journey, the app connects with each sensor it passes on the route, recording the entire multi-modal journey. The app then uses the recorded data to calculate the best-priced fare for the passenger at the end of the day and sends a receipt for the final fare at 3am the next day.

The app also provides more personalised information to the passenger based on the context of their journey.
