To date, displays and communications equipment have been installed in 30 of the 78 stations. Installation is proceeding smoothly and is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2000. The system will provide information to passengers regarding train scheduling, delays, status of escalators, elevators, etc. The heart of any passenger information system is its ability to interface with the transit authority s computers to provide as much information to patrons as possible with a minimum amount of operator intervention. Information is fed directly from the ATCS to iNOVA s server, and the proper message is routed to the correct variable message sign.
Many transit authorities maintain train or bus schedules in database format.
The iNOVA server has the capability to read data from any ODBC compliant database. The iNOVA server inserts the proper data fields into preformatted messages and displayed. As the schedule database is updated, iNOVA continues to monitor the database and provide the latest information. All Rights Reserved. Read our privacy statement .
