TFT Display & Embedded Solutions for Bus & Transit Infrastructure
TFT Display solutions for powering real-time information systems for bus networks, terminals, and shelters with rugged, high-brightness displays, integrated computing, and tailored power solutions.
Why Vehicle & Transit Environments Need Specialised Displays
In bus and transit systems, displays face a unique set of challenges:- Varying ambient light (sunlight, shade, glare)
- Exposure to weather, dust, vibration, and temperature swings
- Power constraints across vehicle or shelter systems
- Integration with control, communication, and scheduling systems
- Longevity and maintainability (component availability, swapping)
Your hardware must not just work, but persist reliably over years in a demanding environment.
High-Brightness, UV-Filtered Displays for Outdoor Readability
Our TFT displays for buses achieve brightness levels of up to 4,500 cd/m², delivering clear, sharp visibility even in direct sunlight. Integrated UV filtering protects the screen from long-term degradation, ensuring consistent clarity while reducing maintenance and service costs.
Vandal-Resistant and Durable Design
Built for the demands of public transport, our displays combine multiple protective features to ensure long-term reliability:
Rugged Cover Glass – absorbs impact to prevent breakage.
Anti-Reflective Coatings – maintain readability in bright outdoor conditions.
Scratch and Impact Resistance – protects against daily wear and vandalism in busy urban environments
Interactive / Touch Displays
- Bus shelters with route maps
- Ticketing kiosks
- Onboard infotainment / route info displays
Embedded Real-Time Technology
Partnering with AAEON and other embedded specialists, we support integrators with reliable, long-lifecycle computing platforms designed for demanding transport applications.- Real-time passenger information systems – delivering precise, up-to-the-minute data to passengers and operators.
- Seamless integration with onboard and networked systems – ensuring stable connectivity and compatibility with existing infrastructure.
- Scalable embedded platforms – enabling flexible performance upgrades and future-proof system development.
Wide-Temperature and Energy-Efficient Operation
- Operational range: anything from –40 °C to +85 °C for dependable outdoor and onboard use.
- Optimised power efficiency to reduce energy draw and extend system lifespan.
- Proven reliability in harsh, vibration-prone and high-duty transport conditions.
Power Solutions & DC/DC Converters
Transit systems often incorporate mixed voltage sources (battery, solar, vehicle power).Environmental Protection & Durability
Our displays and assemblies can be enhanced with:
- Impact-resistant glass
- UV filters
- Thermal management layers
- Sealing (IP65 / IP67 when needed)
These help minimise failures in dusty, wet, or high-temperature conditions.
Applications in Public Transport
Our rugged display and embedded solutions are designed for dependable operation across all areas of modern bus and transit infrastructure.
- Onboard systems – embedded platforms and displays for real-time route updates, passenger alerts, and driver interfaces.
- Bus shelter signage – high-bright, touch-enabled displays powered by efficient embedded controllers for timetables, updates, and digital advertising.
- Outdoor transit terminals – weatherproof, sunlight-readable systems with integrated computing for continuous 24/7 operation.
