Railway Real-Time Passenger Information System
Real-time Passenger Information System
The Dynamic Passenger Information System processes data on the plan and execution of train traffic in order to present passengers real-time information. The PIS system consists of visual and voice information systems, time signaling devices, and train movement sensors. The final result may be seen at the stations of state and commuter railways. Devices provide passengers with information regarding arrivals, departures, and delays at any point across the railway station. High-readability LED RGB and high-resolution LCD TFT displays will meet the communication requirements in railway contexts in a clear and fast way, improving the quality of service supplied to passengers. High-quality public address system able to provide passengers with key information or ensuring their safety by alerting the coming of fast-moving trains.

Visual and acoustic passenger information
The basic task of the devices in the real-time passenger information system for railways is to provide passengers with visual and voice information about the current implementation of the train timetable, including the presentation of deviations from the timetable and other information related to railway traffic and the services of railway carriers.
The PIS system is composed of:
- Visual information system
- Voice information system (public address system)
Depending on the size of the facility and its function, the station can be equipped with various passenger information system devices.
Next train platform displays
Intended to present information about trains making stops provided for in the timetable as departing, arriving, or terminating trains move on the track adjacent to the edge of the platform at which they were installed.
See the next train indicator display
Main arrivals / departures boards
They inform about the current implementation of the timetable, i.e. train arrival and departure times, numbers, commercial categories, line numbers and names of trains, destination stations, major intermediate stations, platform numbers, carriers and possible delays. They are installed in checkout halls, waiting rooms, etc. in places.
See the railway station timetable display – Main Board
Next trains platform entrance displays
They present information about the nearest train(s) departing, arriving, or finishing the route from a given track or tracks adjacent to the platform. They are installed at the entrances to the platform, which can be accessed by passages under the tracks or covered pedestrian footbridges.
Arrivals / departures boards
The railway station schedule displays have the same application as the main station boards. However, they are smaller and display fewer rows. They are installed in passages under the tracks, station communication routes, and at railway stations and passenger stops.
Info Kiosk with train timetable
They present information about the nearest trains leaving the station. They also make it possible to change the presented content to information about the upcoming train arrivals or messages about periodic difficulties in train traffic. Infokiosk-style multifunctional displays are placed on platforms, in front of entrances to passages under the tracks, and in front of entrances to footbridges, among other places.
Train motion sensor
They are used to detect the presence of trains moving on the track at the edge of the platform where they are installed. Not fewer than two train motion sensors (an entry sensor and an exit sensor) are installed on each active platform edge of the station or passenger stop.
Public Address System
A set of devices used to emit voice messages for travelers. The system is equipped with elements such as a public address system controller / audio decoder, audio amplifiers, loudspeakers, ambient noise level sensors, and local microphone desks.
