Sm@rtBus is a discrete addition to bus stops that provides real-time
information for people waiting to catch a bus.
A small box containing the electronics is banded to the top of the pole and
transmits information to a person waiting to catch a bus, via the Sm@rtBus
App.
The App gives real-time information for the next buses due to arrive at
the bus stop.
It gives the name of the bus stop, the scheduled time of the bus, along with
its number, destination and actual time of arrival.
For visually Impaired people it audibly announces the information to them
for example
“April Close Bus Stop, The First Greater Manchester bus number 425 to
Oldham at 13:32 is expected to arrive in 27 minutes”
This completely enhances the lives of Visually Impaired people and allows
them to catch a bus as easily as everyone else.
At a fraction of the price of other RTI systems and with no additional
subscription charges to the end user or Local Authority/Bus service provider
Sm@rtBus is the solution to total inclusivity.
It has a clear, easy to read visual display providing the
information required regarding buses due in the next hour at
the bus stop.
Having the information audible for Visually Impaired people
can completely enhance their lives for something sighted
people merely take for granted.
