Called “HoloStop”, holographic stop buttons are tested from this Monday in five buses of the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines [Paris] network. This process should make it possible to fight against the transmission of viruses in public transport. “This project is the perfect illustration of our philosophy in terms of innovation: to put technology at the service of a useful and pragmatic use”, explains Sophie Hassan, Marketing Director Ile-de-France for RATP Dev.
RATP continues to project itself into the future. After unveiling, last October, with several partners, the face of future flying taxis, the RATP presented holographic stop buttons on Monday for the bus network. In charge: RATP Dev, a subsidiary of the RATP group.
For the time being, this is an experiment. Based on the know-how of the French company MZ Technologie and baptized “HoloStop”, the project is being tested from this Monday in five buses of the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines network. The goal: to request a shutdown without having contact with a button, thus responding to a health constraint.
