Application

Built for every journey.

Driver desks, door controls and passenger buttons are pressed thousands of times a day, by staff and by the public, over decades of service. They have to work every time and never act on their own.

What goes wrong today

And what the HABI Button changes.

TodayWith the HABI Button
Did the button work?

Passengers press again and again when nothing seems to happen at the door.

Clear confirmation

Light and a tone confirm the press, and the light can show the door status.

Accidental presses

Bags, sleeves and vibration in a crowded vehicle can trigger controls.

Both channels, or nothing

Brushing past or vibration alone is ignored. Only a real press counts.

Wear and maintenance

Heavily used mechanical buttons wear out and become a maintenance item.

Built for heavy use
