How to Access VTA Beacons

• API key – alYdUyIyKartZkGPsGapTAuWKZyIUUqa

• Documentation: docs.kontakt.io – Android SDK – iOS SDK

• Test deployment @ Great Mall Transit Center • Questions?

– [email protected]

Special Challenges Accessibility: • ADA customers may have problems finding their way through the VTA transit

centers, transferring between vehicles, finding Elevators or getting to their final location.

• Wheelchair customers want to know where the elevators might be and easy access to sidewalks.

• A blind person would like voice commands and step by step instructions with 1 or 2 foot accuracy.

EXAMPLE: - VTA Great Mall Transit Center - Light rail station - Multi stall bus transit center - Directions to and from the - Mall entrance

VTA Great Mall Transit Center

VTA Tasks: Install specially configured public beacons at transit center or in high-traffic metropolitan areas, (Down town San Jose) A Solution could include help with temporary location finding – for example if a blind person needs to find their luggage on the train, or getting to the doctor’s office without assistance. By using a set of personally configured beacons, a blind person simply places their personal beacon in their luggage, package (or temporary location) and the mobile app will then help detect and find that beacon. Way finding to Local Business: Allow the blind person to create their own path to a retail outlet. The mobile app remembers the trip name and the turn by turn path. For example “Station GISH to Doctor” was the trip name the user gave the trip. The mobile app remembers first the beginning beacon, each turn and path, when they get to the office tell the application to save trip.

Mobile as a Service or MaaS – Express Lanes

• Tolls for solo drivers are collected electronically using FasTrak. Tolls on SR 237 (first phase/segment) have ranged from $0.30 to $4.75, with an average toll of $1.60.

• When a car equipped with a FasTrak transponder passes under an express lane antenna, the antenna will read the transponder, and the correct toll will automatically be deducted from the driver’s prepaid FasTrak account.

• Drivers would like to know the current toll value and if Express lane is still open or switched over to an HOV only lane. (Hands free)
