Passenger Information Displays
Penta's Passenger Information Display interfaces are ADA Compliant and customize designs are based on your transit authority specifications and requirements. The visual display templates are designed to provide accurate, easy to understand information and notify users about any system updates. The Passenger Information Displays are completely web-based, allowing the use of media players and browsers at remote stations and terminals. The use of standard web pages and networking provides compatibility with standard tools, hardware, and maintenance. Each location’s authorized users can completely manage and supervise remote sites with real-time updating of content, information, schedule, and emergency messaging. Content is accessed using SQL database queries and triggers, making the Penta WavWriter digital signage compatible with virtually all standards-based asset tracking and asset management systems. Easy to use web creation and field editing software is designed to be extremely flexible for the creation of custom pages and displays.
