In response to a growing demand for digitally-available passenger information, German traffic association Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr (VRR) and Swiss railway operator TPC are piloting a new passenger information system from BBR Verkehrstechnik (BBR).

Mofis Media.MIP, which will be piloted at two stations in Germany and Switzerland, extends the classical passenger information option with zoom-capable, digital bulletin-board information, live departure times and information on connections or on available hotels. The information can also be accessed on a smart phone via QR code.

The BBR display provides information via a touch screen with a zoom function and a dynamic display gives live information on departures. Individual timetables with fares can be accessed on a smart phone via QR code, together with an active routing function to the destination, together with e-ticketing and information on available hotels. As a multi-modal transport platform, it also provides information on cycle rental or taxis.
