Busem is using Papercast’s solarpowered e-paper displays to create smart bus stops at 14 major locations across the city of Písek in the Czech Republic. The displays aim to provide dynamic arrival information based on the position of the vehicle on the route as well as updates on abnormal traffic conditions.


E-paper displays will show line numbers, routes from bus stops, actual arrival times and closest connections as well as messages for signifi cant service changes and will also promote important city information, news and events.

Papercast’s displays come with night-time LED illumination for readability in all lighting conditions. In addition, the panels are mounted to existing bus stops and connected wirelessly to the cloud-based data management platform. Protected by a ruggedised IP65-rated enclosure, the platform is in continual development and can be remotely updated and  managed.

Cities will accommodate almost 60% of the world’s population by 2025 and technology is outpacing transportation plans and planners - putting extreme pressures upon planners and transportation systems alike. Big data, digital payments, ubiquitous communications, smartphone applications, on-demand travel and autonomous vehicles are all shredding existing transport plans. Never before has the pace of population growth and the tools to address this problem

    Across the board, technology is being brought to bear to improve the efficiency of enforcement. Bus lane monitoring, parking and controlled access have all benefited from systems introduced in recent months. While speed and red light infringements tend to attract the most attention, there remain several other areas of enforcement where automation can bring significant operational and efficiency benefits. Lane monitoring and access control also continue to benefit from technological development.
