Intercom Unit
Clear two-way communication between the vehicle driver and passenger
Improving bus driver safety is a vital step in making public transport safer for passengers and operators alike. As transport providers introduce enhanced safety measures, such as full protective driver screens, new communication challenges can arise between drivers and passengers.
The installation of secure driver cab screens can reduce verbal clarity at the entrance platform, making effective interaction more difficult. The Ardent Intercom Unit solves this problem by delivering clear, reliable two-way communication between the driver inside the cab and passengers boarding the bus. Designed specifically for modern public transport vehicles, the V-IU Intercom overcomes the limitations created by physical barriers, ensuring safety improvements do not come at the cost of passenger communication or service quality.

Designed to meet stringent EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) requirements, the Ardent Intercom Unit complies fully with industry standards. It is simple to install and retrofit, making it ideal for existing and new vehicles alike, with a straightforward setup process that minimises vehicle downtime.
