In recent years, as businesses have been forced to adapt and recover in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, technology has been relied upon more than ever.
Travel by city rail or metro has a long history of crowded platforms. Many of these stations are old and built-in places where there's either no room to expand or, if underground, very costly to expand.
Passenger safety, real-time updates and digital advertising are all ways to improve the ride experience.
While good personal hygiene, physical distancing, the use of personal protective equipment, and implementation of other conventional measures are important, there are also opportunities to influence the physical components of transit stations and vehicles and their ventilation systems via planning and design tools.
With Connectpoint’ s ePaper digital displays, hundreds of bus stops will now provide riders with real-time departure and schedule information, 24/7, as well as service alerts.
During emergencies, digital displays can deliver real-time information, directions, and announcements directly to passengers to enable and enhance transit safety and security.
Urban Solar, in partnership with OutdoorLink and Papercast, will equip the agency's bus stops with remotely managed lighting systems that feature real-time bus arrival information.
Transit systems and their technology partners are working together to adjust operations, provide passengers with up-to-date information, and ensure a safe transit environment.
The solar-powered signage will provide bus arrival times and assist the visually impaired with spoken information and help maintain clear readability at about 80 feet.
The new real-time digital information displays will provide increased messaging flexibility and provide a better customer experience.
