Transportation signage for the most part has been simple text with video images on an LED board, scrolling so quickly that passengers have little chance, if any, to read it. The LED text is often blurry, non-interactive and unable to be distributed in multiple languages. As the result, passengers have no idea about arrival and departure times, destinations, safety regulations, emergency evacuation procedures and so on. This is all about to change with the introduction of TransitVUE® Transportation Passenger Information System (TPIS)!

With TransitVUE® TPIS, you'll be able to:

• Display full motion color messages such as; PSA's, safety alerts, schedules, routes, destinations, emergency evacuation procedures or any active custom content you wish to broadcast
• Connect multiple displays at various stations and control them from a single point
• Broadcast messages with or without high quality stereo audio
• Overlay multiple messages at one time on the same display
• Multi-cast messages
• Enable the auto detection feature, which actively allows a message to be broadcast when triggered (for example, when a train crosses a certain section of track, track perimeter intrusion, emergency evacuation and so forth)
• Allow 3rd party commercial advertising on your system
• Increase ridership and overall revenue

        

A Turnkey Solution

TransitVUE® TPIS is based on a client-server configuration in which the content server, (CMS-1000A Content Server), is connected to a network of clients (Players) via a TCP/IP network (hard wire or wireless). The content server, typically based at a central location, is where the content to be shown is put in a play list. The content server communicates to each player independently (uni-casting), or distributes content simultaneously to any number of Players (multi-casting). This local file sharing mechanism reduces the cost of content distribution and reduces the cost of ownership for the whole system. Content can be configured to have every display in the network running "synchronously" or each display can run independently. As the scheduled content is displayed, the client software on the Player generates log files with information on what content has been shown. This information is fed back to the server to be viewed by the operator for billing and tracking purposes.

Optimized for Maximum Impact

The Vantage Server Software (VSS) management software allows real time distribution of multiple images, full motion video and sound formats to be displayed. Vantage Server Software is easy to use and enables the creation of dynamic, engaging presentations providing enhanced personalization and effectiveness of branding messages.

Flexibility

TransitVUE® TPIS includes a wide variety of display sizes and technologies, when coupled with the management software, users can create, schedule, and manage dynamic content from a central or local environment which can react to time and events in a regional, local or site specific environment. Activity is logged on-site and reported back centrally. Reports can be created to show daily, weekly or monthly activity. In addition, Users can access full reporting to monitor system run-logs to ensure that the network is operating at its full potential.

Enhanced Performance and Ease of Use

From content creation to system design and installation to network management, our end-to-end solution supports all aspects of the systems. Incidence reporting relays local schedule changes back to administration. Network monitors can be put in place, which will notify the operator automatically of issues with the network, displays or content.

Cost Savings & Return on Investment

TransitVUE® TPIS is a low cost, simple way of distributing Content, Data and Display commands over Wireless and Ethernet networks. By utilizing an open architecture, the TransitVUE® TPIS will create efficiencies in network development and lower costs by integrating existing systems such as SCADA and PA and reducing system management time. The TransitVUE® TPIS solution can generate revenue for you by allowing 3rd party advertising on your system. Depending on the size of your system, your ROI can be in as little as 18 months. Revenues generated after this period can be used towards funding additional projects without using taxpayer money!
