FlexPlay Pro 7: Icon-Driven Playback Software with Driver Report Card
AngelTrax
Designed as a completely self-managed driver coaching system, FlexPlay Pro 7 eliminates the need for a third-party solution and its monthly fees.
View surveillance footage in two interchangeable playback modes – standard mode and driver report card mode – each featuring familiar icons for easy navigation.
In driver report card mode, FlexPlay Pro 7 simultaneously displays footage and an easy-to-use report card form for quick reference in identifying driver improvements and diagnosing risky behavior trends. Personalize each report card with driver-specific notes of required behavior modifications or notable improvements. Each driver report card can be saved and output as several file types – complete with embedded metadata – for employee files, driver incentive documentation or future comparisons.
FlexPlay Pro 7's standard mode features GPS routing displayed side-by-side with video footage for an overall view of the trip, including speed, stopping points and event markers. Fleet directors can target specific signs of potential trouble by choosing types of events to be marked on the footage timeline.

Seon Features Two New Mobile Surveillance Offerings
Seon Design Inc.
Seon has two new mobile surveillance offerings. A new compact, high-resolution digital video recorder (DVR), the Trooper TL-HD,and a new web-based version of Seon’s popular video management software, vMax Commander (v5.0).
The TL-HD is a compact, yet full-featured DVR offering pristine recording of four analog and one high-definition camera views at 30 frames per second simultaneously across all five channels. Packed with powerful features such as a built-in inertia sensor, which triggers an alarm in dangerous driving conditions, it is also GPS-ready, to provide the exact vehicle location and route at the time of video recording. The TL-HD’s dual streaming feature lets you record a high-quality version of the event while providing a low-resolution stream necessary for viewing live video over a low-bandwidth cellular network. It is also WiFi-ready for automatic video downloading without having to go out to the bus to retrieve video.
In vMax Commander Version 5.0, Seon introduces a web-based version of its popular video management software designed to drastically reduce the time and effort required to locate, download and review video of an on-board incident.

The Stertil-Koni Ecolift: Ideally Suited for Heavy Duty Lifting at Transit Agencies of All Sizes
Stertil-Koni
The Stertil-Koni Ecolift is recognized as the industry’s original ultra-shallow, full-rise, in-ground axle-engaging lifting system.
Ecolift is engineered with a highly dependable hydraulic lifting system that operates quickly, efficiently, and smoothly — reaching a maximum lifting height of 70 inches in just 80 seconds. It uniquely combines high pressure, low volume hydraulics, while requiring a mere 3.5 gallons of fluid per scissor.
The recipient of two U.S. patents, Ecolift is available in a 2-scissor or 3-scissor configuration, with total lifting capacity of 60,000 lbs. and 90,000 lbs. respectively. Even a tandem configuration is possible, with a lifting capacity of up to 120,000 pounds, and every configuration provides wheels free lifting.
In addition, because it has an installation depth of just 34 inches, Ecolift is the answer to a broad range of heavy duty lifting situations. It is well suited for servicing transit buses and other vehicles with low clearance. In addition, Ecolift delivers an unparalleled combination of superior lifting matched with an environmentally-friendly design.

VIA Analytics Launches Four New Products
Via Analytics
Shortly before APTA, Via Analytics will simultaneously launch four new products.
On the vehicle side, Via transit synchronization system, Tempo is a proven solution to keep even spacing between vehicles while maintaining high system speeds. It runs as an app on inexpensive, networked Android tablets, giving drivers simple visual guidance to coordinate routes in real-time.
Via’s product launch will introduce two more beta-tested tablet applications to complement Tempo.
Via is complementing the vehicle-side applications with the release of an open, cloud-based analytics platform. The company believes that releasing analytics tools open-source represents a fundamental shift in how the transit industry turns data into information.
Releasing VIZ open-source means that agencies can freely use, view, and modify the underlying source code. In addition to reducing financial costs compared with proprietary software, open-source comes with a number of other benefits

More Economical, More Flexible and More Comfortable: ZF Chassis Technology for Low-Floor Buses
ZF North America
New generation axle technologies accommodate low-floor buses and higher axle loads.
ZF will be rolling out a new axle generation for low-floor buses in two stages. Important modifications were made to the advanced driven axle back in 2011. Thanks to integration of functions for consoles and screw connections, the AV 133 will already be much lighter yet provide increased performance compared with the AV 132.
The further developed RL 82 EC low-floor front axle is also an answer to increasing weight due to the greater requirements associated with emission standards or through driveline electrification. ZF has adjusted the RL 75 EC independent suspension through design changes and by using high-strength steel. The load at the front axle thus increased by up to 700 kg to a maximum of 8.2 tons. The new RL 82 EC independent suspension fits into all vehicle models that before have been on the road with the RL 75 EC.
The RL 55 EC independent suspension's design allows for use in vehicles with a conventional high floor but also with a front-end section in full low-floor design.
