The central unit on board is able to automatically determine the position of the vehicle along the established path by analyzing the coordinates coming from the instruments installed on board (GPS satellite antenna, electronic gyroscope and odometer). This information is subsequently transmitted to the LED indicator light and to the vocalization unit. The management of the passenger information system is completely disengaged from the driver of the car and makes it possible to detect the state of advance or delay based on the programmed time card.
On-board audiovisual system
On-board audiovisual system
To provide directions and upcoming bus stops
The next stop audiovisual system provides passengers on board buses with correct and complete information on the position of the vehicle along the route, in audiovisual format.
The system consists of a display device that can be a LED indicator of different types or a multimedia device, and a vocalization unit connected to a series of internal and external loudspeakers to vocalize announcements even in different languaages. The volume is adjustable based on the ambient noise.
The informative orientation during the trip allows a considerable comfort especially for disabled or not proper informed user on the bus route (eg blind, visually impaired, tourists, foreigners); allows users to travel with greater confidence and transport companies to improve the quality of the service provided.
Line and destination announcement
Real-time destination information
The line and destination voice announcement is an information system for bus stop users who are waiting to get on board.
The electronic system is installed on the vehicle to complete the system consisting of line indicators and VerbaBUS® destination.
When the vehicle reaches the stop, after opening the doors, special loudspeakers installed on board the buses communicate an automatic voice announcement to the user. The transmitted message, of the type "bus line 10 with airport destination", can be repeated several times, with definable intervals, for as long as the ascent doors remain open, even in different languages.
The line and destination voice announcement is particularly appreciated by blind and visually impaired people, elderlies and tourists, who find their information needs satisfied, feel assisted and encouraged to use the public service. For this reason, the use of a voice announcement system significantly improves the quality of the service offered.
