Interview: COVID-19

and Its Impact on Our Industry

The mobility industry faces new challenges as a result of COVID-19 and its consequences. Now, the main task is to regain the passengers' confidence in public transport. Hacon CEO Michael Frankenberg explains how this can be achieved and what else might be changing in the future.

COVID Action Plan

Three Measures for the Public Transport Business

In many countries, restrictions imposed due to the COVID-19 crisis start to loosen up step by step. What can transport companies do to ensure that their passengers feel safe and secure on public transport and use it again? In our action plan, we have put together three measures with one common goal: Help minimize the exposure of travelers by providing relevant and useful information.

Mobility as a Service

Yes, we can!

Establishing Mobility as a Service (MaaS) – this is what Siemens Mobility, HaCon, eos.uptrade and Bytemark are working on together. Based on our Mobility Marketplace, a flexible and secure MaaS platform, a wide variety of data and interfaces are integrated into one comprehensive trip planner.

Disruption Management

Reliable Information for Public Transport Passengers

The HAFAS Information Manager HIM, Hacon‘s smart solution for disruption management, provides passengers with fast and accurate information on deviations from the schedule as well as service alerts. HIM supports all possible communication channels such as trip planners, RSS feeds, Twitter, Facebook, etc - an added value for your customers.
