Delivery and installation of 13 DFI displays

Hagener Straßenbahn AG (HST) currently has 68 DFI displays and 104 DFI light displays installed in its operating area. The DFI displays are connected to the ITCS system and provide passengers with real-time information at the stops. Due to the dynamic information, customers are always up-to-date and can use the time until the departure of the bus elsewhere, e.g. for errands. In addition, the advertisements can be provided with information and special texts, which e.g. refer to operational disruptions, diversions, but also to events. This information is conveyed much more purposefully and directly than via other media. The DFI light displays complement the DFI network and also display real-time data, which is delivered via the VRR XML interface. This in turn is connected via the IDS server to the ITCS system of the Hagen tram and other transport companies.

The DFI displays with actual departure times are therefore among the components with the greatest practical benefit for our passengers. The customer response to the advertisements has been very positive and requests from customers and politicians to equip other stops have been expressed.

The existing system of DFI displays is now to be expanded by thirteen overview indicators for central public transport nodes. The Hagener Straßenbahn AG requires large displays on one and both sides with at least 12 lines. Due to the local conditions, both one-mast solutions and two-mast solutions are necessary. These DFI indicators must be supplied with data from the existing ITCS system of Hagener Straßenbahn AG. The next departures of the assigned stop should be displayed. If necessary, notes and special texts should also be displayed. The data supply must take place via the mobile data network (LTE/4G/GSM). Power must be supplied via the local low-voltage network.
