Metro information in SignagePlus
Display line, route, arrival time and service messages in a station-ready layout using operator-provided data.
- Metro
- Transport
Application scenario
Notification according to the location of the passenger
The audience on the platform needs the arrival time and the train route, while at the station entrance, line guides and service messages are more important. The operator selects the appropriate information for each point and coordinates the displays with the authorized data source. Change of route or disruption of service should reach the audience with clear text and according to the message approved by the organization.

Path from preparation to on-site use
Define display position
Specify the station, line and installation location of each display according to the notification plan.
Select related data
Combine route, arrival time and service announcements with the needs of the target audience.
Coordination with user data
Check your information retrieval, update frequency, and offline display policy.
Coordinate the solution with the dimensions of the collection
The design can be checked for a single station or a network of stations. Coordination of line data, display language and shared messages is more important in a large project.
Questions to ask before choosing
How is the arrival time calculated?
Arrival-time display depends on the data and the operator’s source mechanism. The source, expected accuracy and handling of old information must be defined in the project.
How does the content behave when disconnected?
The latest available data can remain visible, while live status requires a source connection. Match player capabilities and stale-content policies to the conditions at each location.
What information is required to receive a suitable demo?
Introduce the place of use, the number of displays or kiosks, the audience of the content and the source of the information. The demo should show the actual way of using your collection so that the layout and service model can be selected based on the needs.
