Service system (10) for mass transit vehicles for catering to passengers or distributing other items, in particular pillows, blankets or headphones, upon individual request from passengers, with a robot-based service unit (28) for interacting with passengers and a fastening device (30) connected to the robot-based service unit (28), wherein the fastening device (30) is attached to the ceiling (22) of the mass transit vehicle, characterized by the fact that the robot-based service unit (28) is a robot arm, the robot arm having a multitude of segments which are connected to each other by joints, for position-accurate and precise catering and supply of all passengers, especially also away from the aisle, the fastening device (30) is arranged in the area of ​​an aisle (18) between respective rows of seats (16) and is movable along the aisle (18), The service system (10) additionally includes a motion sensor and / or a camera for detecting passenger movements, and the robot-based service unit (28) has gesture recognition and / or speech recognition and a touch display for interacting with passengers.

A method performed by an electronic device for generating carrier transit data is disclosed. The method includes obtaining historical data associated with one or more previous shipments involving external transit. The method includes predicting an external turn time parameter indicative of a turn time of a container handled by external transit, e.g., by applying a predictive model to the historical data. The method includes generating carrier transit data associated with a carrier transit service based on the predicted external turn time parameter. The method includes communicating the carrier transit data to a user for use in booking a shipment.

A system and method in which a user application on a mobile device facilitates hands-free fare validation and gateless entry / exit at a transit facility like a transit station or a transit vehicle. The user application communicates with a Bluetooth gateway to authenticate the device and provides device-specific information for device identification and location determination. The user application also sends a secure token to the gateway to validate an electronic ticket stored in the device. A positioning unit uses the device-specific information to generate a timestamped location data for the device. A camera monitors the device user's movement and generates another timestamped location data for the device. A controller driver compares two timestamped location data to determine that the user of the device is approaching a gateless entry point and allows the user to avail a transit service through the gateless entry point when the electronic ticket is valid and active.
