‘Intelligent transport systems’ award: SISMO integrated mobility services system for the Oise by
ERG Transit Systems and Cityway SISMO represents the first implementation in France of an integrated system serving an entire joint transport
authority (SMTCO de l’Oise). It comprises a ticketing system which is common to all the public transport systems, real-time vehicle tracking,
multimodal and multimedia information, onboard and external vehicle information and an information and booking centre for all forms of transport,
including transport on demand, taxis and carpooling. SISMO also includes a mobility monitor which acts as a 'control tower', centralising all the
data from the various systems. |

‘Energy and Environment’ award:
Iveco France’s Citelis and Access’Bus GX 327 and 427 ranges These vehicles comply with EEV and Euro 6
emissions standards. The range of diesel buses uses electric hybrid technology, offering 25% less CO2 emissions as a result of the deployment of
three fundamental features: storage of energy released during braking, a stop/start function which cuts out the engine during stops, and electrically
assisted restart. For its part, the range of natural gas-powered buses is compatible with both biogas and hythane fuel. This means that the vehicle
complies with Euro 6 emission levels; it deploys the same features using hydraulic hybrid technology. |

‘Accessibility, Fittings, Facilities and Design’ award:
Multimodal Information System incorporating green-mode transport from INEO Systrans Based on SIRI, a new interface
standard, this onboard system aims to facilitate multimodal journeys. Colour screens display the times and locations of changes from and to buses,
trams, coaches and regional trains - as well as bike stations (showing the number of available bikes) and park and ride facilities. |
