In the sector of public transport many control tasks are performed via the R09.xx radio telegram by the air interface. Busses pre-emt traffic lights, barriers can be opened. If thereby any issues do arise, it is difficult and often expensive to identify the error.

Here we offer you a convincing solution: RITA, our developed handheld radio based on a professional device of ICOM, enables you to isolate possible sources of errors and finally to identify and fix them. Under our agreement with the radio manufacturer ICOM we provided the handheld radio with an additional board and firmware, featured by the Option-Board. The created system radio device RITA is now able to receive the R09.xx radio telegrams. The latest of each received telegram is decoded and then displayed.

In response to popular demand now finally deliverable:

A compact device, that is able to decode self-sustained (not computer-aided) and promptly a VDV-telegram, without an extra antenna or wiring, but with an integrated rechargeable battery.

You prefer to receive all telegrams over a certain period of time combined with the ability to analyze them at a later stage? In addition you also want to send telegrams in order to test the control processes?     

Then MARTAplus is the right choice for you. Based on the handheld radio RITA you can receive as well as sending R09.xx radio telegrams. Since this will enable you to simulate both scenarios: the bus (transmission of telegrams) as well as the light signal system (reception of telegrams) the effort of any problems that may occur or when the control tasks are first set up is significantly reduced. A cost-intensive use of public transport vehicles in order to send telegrams can be omitted as well as the use of additional staff to check the local computer of the light signal system. RITA enables you to set a local filter using the keyboard of the handheld radio. Then the R.09xx telegram is directly filtered and displayed according to various criteria like the line, the course and the reporting point.

You prefer to send telegrams directly via a handheld radio without an additional PC or software?

No problem: - by using the 10-digit keyboard up to 10 different R.09.xx telegrams can be stored locally, changed and sent at any time without the use of an external PC. However, if more than 10 telegrams are required, they can easily access the system via the Bluetooth interface with the MARTA-TX software. Therefore it is possible to store up to 250 telegrams on the handheld radio and send them afterwards via the speed dial buttons. In addition, entire scenarios can be created, e.g. to simulate the passage of an intersection.

In response to popular demand now finally deliverable:
A compact device, that is able to decode self-sustained (not computer-aided) and promptly a VDV-telegram, without an extra antenna or wiring, but with an integrated rechargeable battery.

You not only want to know if a telegram is being sent, but also want to evaluate the field strength? 

If the MARTAplus system was purchased with the "Upgrade for field strength rating", the associated RSSI value for each received telegram can be displayed in the MARTA-RX software. Possible antenna problems no longer remain undetected.
