E Ink's ePaper Road and Curbside Signage

Digital Paper in Transportation

Electronic Paper Display (EPD) bus, railway, and transportation signs enable green mobility and smart city infrastructure thanks to their high energy efficiency. EPD signs can run independently from the electric grid. The paper-like, high-contrast display offers excellent readability and provides real-time arrival information, service alerts, and route display, all updatable from a central location. Thanks to ease of installation and reduced need to update signs manually, operation and maintenance costs are kept low.


KEY POINTS

• Green Mobility

• Smart Cities

• Sustainability

• Low Power

• Ease of installation

TRANSPORTATION - Austin, TX

Real Time Passenger Information During a Crisis

Capital Metropolitan Transit Authority (Capital Metro), is an Austin-based public transit system historically serving more than 80,000 riders per day. Capital Metro is using Luminator Technology Group’s smart technology in combination with E Ink’s ePaper technology to effectively communicate arrival information as well as shifting schedules and updated safety policies to passengers.


In January of 2020, Capital Metro began installation of over 148 ePaper displays — both solar and traditionally powered — at bus stops, park and rides, light rail stations and remote stops. The 13” and 32” displays become a primary means of communicating with a public in need of assurance during the pandemic. The deployment of solar-powered displays provides transit agencies such as Capital Metro extra flexibility to reach remote areas and access a wider audience in times of crises.


Because the ePaper displays can be updated remotely, Capital Metro is able to push automatic updates and ensure rider access to up-to-date information while reducing labor costs associated with manually switching out paper displays.
