TPL FVG is the consortium responsible for managing local public transportation in the Italian region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, by land and by sea. Their goal was to improve travel experience for both locals and tourists, starting from the real-time widespread diffusion of departures scheduled to passengers. To achieve this result, our eTela was the perfect choice in terms of low-power requirements and paper-like feel.
To meet the project’s requirements we opted for our eTELA devices, installing 190 units of these ultra low-consumption and high sunlight readability solutions based on E Ink technology. A smart network of solar-powered devices that allow real-time visualization of bus waiting times and schedules, as well as public service announcements. Integrated with an LCD totem, its user-friendly interface visualizes nearby ticket vendors and enables electronic ticket purchasing via QR code reading. Each device is connected to a remote-monitoring system that runs diagnostics and visualizes real-time information.
The outdoor LED monitor eTELA offers the experience of a printed text or color photograph thanks to a new display technology, with easy readability in full sunlight, low power consumption and reliability in all weather conditions.
eTELA devices benefit from a real time geolocation system and from up-to-date information, crucial features for displaying prices and offers on outdoor digital menu boards.
