[Part E – Physical design and materials] Kerbside activity 196<br />

Bus intelligence technology<br />

Realtime information (RTI) Countdown<br />

displays<br />

Passenger shelters can be fitted with RTI<br />

Countdown displays, which show the arrival<br />

predictions in minutes for approaching buses<br />

as well as indicating which routes are running.<br />

The displays also have the functionality to<br />

scroll special messages to passengers regarding<br />

information on traffic delays, forthcoming<br />

roadworks and major events impacting the<br />

network.<br />

The displays are hardwired into the shelter<br />

power supply and data transfer is carried via<br />

a 3G network.<br />

Location<br />

The RTI display is usually attached to the<br />

underside of the shelter roof at the arrival end. It<br />

can also be fitted in a void above the information<br />

panel on a Landmark London type shelter model.<br />

In a small number of exceptional locations it may<br />

be provided as a free-standing unit (FSU), however,<br />

at the time of print there is currently a programme<br />

underway to upgrade the estate of eight FSUs<br />

with single bay narrow roofed ‘info’ shelters.
