Fighting climate change

Use of the Journeo Portal removes the requirement to visit mobile assets to secure captured footage and other transport-related data. All information can be accessed remotely and transferred securely. Prior to the release of the Journeo Portal, major transport operators would require teams of people, using deisel vehicles, to actively attend mobile assets to capture data.

Journeo is an intelligent transport systems specialist and promotes the use of public transport above personal-use vehicles, as the most carbon-effective method for the mass movement of people.
