Vix Technology has been selected by Transport for London to deliver the largest real-time passenger information (RTPI) display upgrade in London in over a decade.
This initiative aims to modernise the city’s digital display network, improving passenger satisfaction by giving millions of daily bus users even more accurate and timely updates.
The project will see Vix upgrade the existing bus display estate, and provide a facility by which TfL could deliver future initiatives. Among the next-generation LED, E-Paper, and TFT displays potentially being rolled out, these long-life, battery-powered models can help to provide sustainable, energy-efficient solutions.
The upgrade includes the use of Vix’s display management back office. The platform supports a variety of display types from different vendors in one place, giving visibility and control over all display and stop information. The new technology allows for legacy hardware to be integrated and provides the option to add new displays to the estate, keeping waste and disruption from new installations to a minimum. This unified system is the largest implementation of the RTIG T047 standard for display management.
Michael Hart, CRO, Vix Technology said, “We’re excited to work with Transport for London on this major upgrade to real-time passenger information. Many more people across the city will have access to clear, reliable travel updates, making everyday journeys easier. This is about giving Londoners a better experience today while building a greener, smarter, more connected transport network for the future.”
