Wayfarer 6 which includes a high performance 32 bit processor, supports automatic destination updating, 2-way driver messaging, Real Time Information and fleet management, along with sophisticated third party integration covering scheduling systems, vehicle telematics, voice radio systems, CCTV, and passenger Wi-Fi. It utilises many of the existing Wayfarer data sets and configuration files, and is backwards compatible with the successful Wayfarer 200 series.

The console, ideal for buses, trams, trains and metros – and integrated multi-modal networks – communicates with Parkeon’s newly-developed TMS 2 back office solution, offering web-based reporting and system configuration, with options for hosting and managing operator systems. It can also function as a static point of sale terminal.

In addition, Wayfarer 6 provides key management data and reports, including customer buying patterns, that help to enhance efficiency, optimise services, reduce fraud, improve revenue management and monitor performance by driver, operator and route.

Wayfarer 6 can interface with remote smart card validators, such as the Parkeon Axio Touch, to provide a fully integrated system aligned to today’s modern ticketing requirements.
