| InfoStop:
Integrating Transport and Passengers
InfoStop is a dynamic information point, designed to
enhance the public transport experience.
Buses are an integral part of any urban sustainability
transport policy. The public transport system must be
in step with emerging technologies, to provide commuters
with streamlined and efficient services. Yet more often
than not, passengers are left in the dark, with no security.
InfoStop brings together emerging technologies in Global
Positioning Systems (GPS), wireless technology and real-time
data processing to serve urban travellers efficiently.
InfoStops are a visible symbol of how much a city values
its public transportation systems.
InfoStop provides:
- Accurate forecasts of bus arrivals
- Advertising for local businesses
- Audio transmission for blind people
- A new aesthetic for contemporary living
InfoStops are sturdy, three-sided, convex structures.
They are designed for maximum scalability, to accommodate
features such as security cameras, TV monitors, and
touch-screens that enable citizens to go online, use
pay services and buy tickets.
InfoStop is currently operating in two of the world’s
largest cities, Beijing and Shanghai. It is only a matter
of time until all public transportation becomes in step
with public expectations and technical innovation.
Perhaps the time is now.
