<strong>HAFAS</strong> <strong>Information</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> <strong>HIM</strong><br />

With the ongoing success of smartphones and<br />

tablets and the triumph of mobile internet, passengers<br />

discover new needs. Timetable information<br />

should be clearly, easily and comfortably<br />

retrievable, especially when on the go. Realtime<br />

data about the vehicles, in particular their<br />

current positions, become increasingly popular.<br />

The <strong>HAFAS</strong> <strong>Information</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> <strong>HIM</strong> provides<br />

passengers with relevant information on their<br />

connections as timely and accurately as possible<br />

– not only prior to but also during the journey.<br />

<strong>HaCon</strong>‘s <strong>HIM</strong> family comprises several individual<br />

modules that can be seamlessly integrated<br />

into the timetable information system <strong>HAFAS</strong>.<br />

With <strong>HIM</strong> Info as the core module, messages<br />

regarding operational disruptions are provided<br />

to the passengers in real time. In most cases,<br />

these disruptions (e.g. construction sites) cannot<br />

be precisely quantified in terms of delay. Passengers<br />

can access the additional information via<br />

the journey planner with all its output channels<br />

– internet, mobile applications, RSS feeds,<br />

push messages as well as arrival and departure<br />

boards on the platform or at the bus stop,<br />

respectively.<br />

As a web-based tool, <strong>HIM</strong> is perfectly suited<br />

for distributed environments: users at different<br />

places and from different organizations can edit<br />

timetable contents at the same time.
