(GMS) has conducted a trial in Metro Manila that ran from September 2014 through January 2015 using electric tricycles with proprietary sensing technologies and ICT, such as remote vehicle-control systems, fare-authentication systems, and anti-theft systems. The company plans to begin actual services the second quarter of the calendar year. Fujitsu said it is working with GMS to connect their system to the FUJITSU Intelligent Society Solution SPATIOWL, for a field tria...
