ETRA’s ePass-EMV-QR Onboard Validation system. The autonomous validation solution for cash payment elimination in public transport
The ETRA ePass-EMV-QR on-board validation system solves in a simple and natural way the current need of public transport authorities and operators to eliminate cash in current ticketing systems. The proposal combines two technological solutions, common in other sectors, which are gradually being implemented strongly in public transport ticketing solutions: EMV Contactless and QR technologies. The use of EMV Contactless and QR technologies in metropolitan transport has three fundamental advantages: a high degree of safety, rapid acceptance by passengers and a relevant advance in terms of usability, reasons why it has become a standard world. Likewise, its high degree of penetration in society means that solutions for access to public transport using these technologies have a privileged starting point to promote their use by the end user. The main advantage of ETRA's solution is the independence of any existing system, not requiring integration with existing systems. It allows its installation in any fleet of buses independently, which allows maintaining the current ticketing systems and complementing them with this solution.

Since then, GoAigua has been honed to become a state-of-the-art solution for managing the entire water cycle. It has enabled organizations to reduce non-revenue water, reaching efficiency of over 90%, save 15%-20% in energy consumption, and reduce OPEX by 20%. The solution helps to pinpoint leaks, optimize and automate O&M processes and define tailored investment plans. It can also ensure excellent quality of service, improve the customer experience and deliver a value-added service to consumers. Thus, it promotes the responsible use of water. Idrica, the global leader in digital transformation for the water industry, markets the GoAigua solution and other services around the world.
PE Smart Urban Network for Smart Adaptive Lighting
With Paradox Engineering’s PE Smart Urban Network platform, cities can transform their outdoor lighting infrastructure into a smart, sentient network and enable full remote management of single or streetlights. Main solution element is PE Smart CMS, the web-based software management system to control lighting devices from remote, as well as any other urban application over the same IoT infrastructure. Streetlights are interfaced and connected through PE Smart Lighting Nodes, while PE Smart Gateways act as data concentrators and network coordinators. Altogether, PE Smart Urban Network provides an interoperable, flexible and ready-to-use smart platform to build a self-configuring and self-healing mesh network, fully engineered for affordable ease of deployment and auto-commissioning processes. PE Smart Urban Network allows to turn on/off and dim single or grouped luminaires from the CMS, and enables the definition of customized outdoor lighting schedules. Operating hours and brightness can be programmed upon daily solar times or ambient light levels, and default combinations can be set for given districts or areas. By interfacing smart streetlights with IP cameras, motion sensors, vehicle detection systems or environmental sensors, PE Smart Urban Network enables dynamic sensor-based lighting applications, further reducing consumed power and emissions.
