Digitalisation of passenger info
From paper signs to LEDS: how digital passenger information displays are revolutionising public transport When public transport is unpredictable, information becomes its saving grace. An informed traveller is very often a happy traveller. The frustration felt over service disruptions and cancelled journeys is all too familiar, especially the moment when that little push notification appears on your phone to tell you your journey won’t be going as planned.

Passenger information systems have leapt from static displays and manual announcements to real-time updates and personalised information. Passenger information display systems (PIDS) were once mere paper signs … Continue reading
The Advantages of Using 3D Cameras in Automation and Robotics
