Smart Transport

The essence of Smart Transport

Excellence opérationnelle IoT du transport public

The efficiency of a transport network relies on the real-time availability of data from onboard systems and infrastructure.

Hâpy Services deploys resilient and secure communication architectures to ensure that your critical systems (Telematic gateways, CCTV, Passenger Information Systems) remain connected and operational, even in high-mobility environments.

The challenges of connectivity in motion

Managing a fleet of vehicles or transport infrastructure requires overcoming physical and geographical constraints. Connecting an onboard industrial PC, a tachograph, or an IoT gateway demands industrial-grade reliability.

The challenge of ultra-fast roaming and seamless session continuity

A bus or train moving through different districts or regions also changes cell towers. With a standard SIM card, these transitions can create micro-disconnects that are fatal for real-time applications. The HâpyWAN technology manages these transitions seamlessly by relying on a multi-operator network that instantly selects the strongest available cell.

Eliminating dependency on a single mobile operator

Relying on a single mobile network is an industrial risk. A local tower outage or cell saturation makes the device unreachable. Our HâpyWAN solution integrates intelligent scanning that switches to the best available signal across all national operators.

5G and LTE-M: which technology for which data flows?

Not all data flows have the same requirements. The SAEIV (Operations and Passenger Information Support System) requires low latency, while video surveillance demands high bandwidth. Hâpy Services configures hybrid solutions capable of routing each data flow to the most suitable network, thereby ensuring maximum efficiency.

Security and remote access to onboard units

Onboard computing operates in an exposed environment. Securing communications and enabling maintenance without immobilising vehicles at the depot is the primary driver of profitability.

Isolation of data streams: passenger Wi-Fi vs critical systems

Offering onboard Wi-Fi is a standard service, but it must never compromise vehicle security. We create secure virtual tunnels (private APNs) that fully isolate critical data (ticketing, telemetry) from passenger internet traffic. Your onboard controllers remain invisible and unreachable by users.

Remote maintenance and secure remote access

Every time a bus or tram returns to the depot for a simple software update or screen diagnostic, it generates significant operational costs. With the secure remote access of HâpyWAN, your technical teams can take control of central onboard units remotely. You can troubleshoot, restart systems, and update ticketing tariffs without interrupting service.

Operational control and fleet maintenance MCO

In the transport sector, data that fails to be transmitted results in lost passenger information and a deterioration in service quality.

Virtual DSI: real-time fleet supervision

Managing connectivity for hundreds of moving vehicles is complex, and Hâpy Services simplifies it. Our Virtual DSI service acts like a control tower. We monitor the “health” of each vehicle’s connection. If a bus stops reporting its position or a ticket validator goes offline, we instantly identify the cause (network or hardware).

Preventive diagnostics and network “black spot” analysis

Thanks to our monitoring tools, we map weak reception zones along your routes. This diagnostic enables optimizing the antennas installed on vehicles or forcing roaming onto a specific operator in critical areas, ensuring full coverage across all itineraries.

ROI and deployment strategy for transport operators

Managed connectivity turns your fixed costs into drivers of operational optimisation.

Control of total cost of ownership (TCO) and elimination of roaming bill unpredictability

Crossing borders (for road transport) or heavy video usage can generate unpredictable bills. Hâpy Services eliminates this risk with intelligent alerts and centralized data management, helping you control your budget regardless of fleet activity.

Contractual agility for evolving fleets

Public procurement and delegation of public service contracts (DSP) require flexibility. Our models do not bind you with rigid commitments or hidden activation fees. You can scale up when deploying new lines, or scale down with no penalties when renewing your fleet.

Frequently asked questions on smart transport

How do you guarantee connection in rural or mountainous areas?

HâpyWAN aggregates all available networks. Where a traditional operator has a white spot, others often have coverage. Our system dynamically selects the strongest signal to avoid interruptions to real-time passenger information.
Yes, we size architectures for high-definition video flows. Secure remote access even allows law enforcement or supervision centers to connect to a specific vehicle’s camera through a priority encrypted channel in case of an incident.

Our gateways and SIM cards are universal. Whether you use standard controllers, industrial onboard PCs, or transport-specific PLCs (e.g., ITxPT standards), Hâpy Services ensures full compatibility and seamless integration.
