Vivek Chauhan on 09 Aug 12Amtrak, the government-owned company that manages railroad services in US, has made a firm determination to use the iPhone Development as a rail service tool and to accomplish this mission the conductors are being trained since November to avail the Apple handsets as an electronic ticket scanner as reported by the NEW YORK TIMES. By now more than 1,500 conductors are using the devices on Amtrak trains on a few selected routes. The iOS devices contain an extra battery and a barcode scanner along with an app that aids in scanning & also displays special conditions as for a disabled person to coordinate a wheelchair lift at a particular destination. The app also enables the conductors to report mechanical failures of the train.
