This includes a newly developed stationary ticket vending machine featuring a new, leading-edge design. The terminal has a new coin handling unit that handles coins substantially faster and with a high degree of availability. As a result, disruptions are a thing of the past. In addition, the newly developed system can adapt intelligently to different fares and also has a substantially enlarged coin storage capacity. Two new four-lane printers can be integrated into the new terminal, making it possible to process up to eight paper rolls. The new coin handling unit and new printer will lengthen the service intervals considerably, lowering the current operating costs for public transport companies. Another important aspect of the further development of the successful almex.station product series was a further improvement in protection against vandalism. New stainless-steel operating bays are extremely resistant to vandalism and give the terminals an attractive appearance as well. A newly developed film adhesion system facilitates personalised design and simple replacement of the film if damaged due to vandalism. In Europe, Hoeft & Wessel AG delivered stationary ticket vending systems to the Danish State Railway and to Deutsche Bahn (German Rail) and received a contract award from the Belgian State Railway SNCB at the beginning of this year. Using the new software GUIDEsign, customers of Hoeft & Wessel will be able to design their own graphical user interfaces easily and speedily in future. What is special about this is that the GUI can even be personalized for each passenger. As a result, passengers with poor eyesight can be given a user interface that is ideally suited to their particular needs. A particularly handy and fast control device for e-Tickets makes it easier for public transport companies to check all types of e-Tickets with an RFID chip or barcode. A new, fast on-board computer with a ticket printer of the almex.optima series now enables a new, simple e-Ticketing system to be used, providing for contactless credit cards to be used in substitution for regular fare tickets. The First Group, the biggest bus operator in the United Kingdom, is currently being equipped with the new on-board computers. Hoeft & Wessel is one of Europe's leading providers of state-of-the-art ticketing systems. >> Hoeft & Wessel at InnoTrans 2012: hall 2.1, booth 233 >> Press folder with photo of the new TVM: http://www.presseportal.de/pm/12945/hoeft_wessel_ag/ >> The Company The Hoeft & Wessel Group is the leading IT and engineering technology Group for ticketing, parking and mobile solutions in Germany and Great Britain.
