Connectpoint
Seattle’s King County Metro Transit has awarded Connectpoint a five-year contract to deploy hundreds of “smart city” digital signs.
Connectpoint’s cloud-based management system, CPAM, designed specifically for the transit industry, will be implemented across all new digital information displays for the agency’s RapidRide stations and transit centers — including Connectpoint’s latest 42” Digital Bus Stop.
The new real-time information signage from Connectpoint will provide increased messaging flexibility, enhance King County Metro’s overall communications strategy, and provide a better customer experience.
The Connectpoint Digital Bus Stop will supplement King County Metro’s current static passenger information across the agency’s 215 bus lines. The 13-, 32-, and 42inch displays will be installed at highly-trafficked bus stops, transit centers, and corridors across the city.
All digital signage will include a push-to-talk system to enable audible announcements that can be queued for sequential delivery and supplemented with pre-recorded messages and tones.
System health, power, and content across digital signage is managed remotely by Connectpoint's CPAM, which can be accessed from any mobile device for on-the-go changes and performance visibility and can be converted into an emergency message system.
The company partners with manufacturers such as Kiel Seating, Camira Fabric, and TSI Video, focusing on areas that directly impact both passenger experience and operational performance.
