July 2011

Raising passengers' comfort even in peak conditions, improving the driver's workplace to answer better to healthy and safety issues, and enhancing remote maintenance system are the main objectives addressed by EBSF in the Use Case of Rome.

A new EBSF Bus demonstrator developed by Irisbus Iveco enables adapting the number of seats available to passengers depending on the effective passenger's flow. [Read more]. Several tests will allow verifying for different combinations of seat arrangements, what is the limit number of passengers allowing the correct flow in bus operations.

Special consideration is given to the driver workplace. Thanks to the improvements in the EBSF driver cabin, aspects like the security and safety have been improved, as well as leading a simpler and more intuitive driving style.

Furthermore, 50 existing IRISBUS CNG buses are equipped with a new diagnostic on-board system to significantly decrease the maintenance and the operating costs, and to offer more performing and reliable service.

The Use Case event of Rome will take place the 13th December 2011. For more information, please write to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it  or click here.
