CeroView awarded contract for coach operator kiosks

October 29, 2002

IRVINE, Calif. -- Turnkey kiosk manufacturer CeroView will provide two kiosks for each of the Orange County (Calif.) Transportation Authority's (OCTA) transit operation centers.

The kiosks will be used to communicate with coach operators and assign route schedules to bus drivers, according to a CeroView news release. The system will use Netkey Creator Studio and link directly with OCTA's Intranet

"We have seen an increase in human resource-based applications," CeroView president Derek Fretheim said in the release. "The real demand right now is for companies to capitalize on their corporate Intranet investments as a fully utilized communications tool. In the case of OCTA, their coach operators, given the nature of the type of work they do for the organization, do not have access to a computer as part of their normal job function."

OCTA estimates nearly 50 percent of its work force doesn't use a computer as part of their job functions.

CeroView is manufacturing PHILAE kiosks customized to OCTA's specifications. The kiosks will have standard features, including Input Technologies Eclipse all-metal keyboard, 17-inch touchscreen and Pentium 4 computer.
