Passenger Information Systems for Buses — Rugged TFT Displays & Real-Time Tech

Meeting the Challenges of Bus Passenger Information Systems

Passenger information systems in buses must overcome issues such as:

  • Sunlight glare reducing readability

  • Risk of vandalism in public environments

  • Extreme temperatures from –40 °C to +85 °C

  • The need for reliable real-time passenger updates

FORTEC UK provides rugged TFT PIS solutions engineered for long-term reliability in demanding transit environments.

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


Embedded Real-Time Technology

Partnering with AAEON and other embedded specialists, we integrate:

  • Real-time passenger information systems

  • Seamless connection to onboard networks

  • Scalable platforms for future upgrades

Wide-Temperature and Energy-Efficient Operation

  • Operational range: –40 °C to +85 °C

  • Energy-efficient power consumption

  • Reliable performance for outdoor and onboard use

Applications in Public Transport

Our rugged displays support:

  • Onboard bus displays – route updates, passenger alerts

  • Bus shelter signage – schedules, service updates, advertising

  • Outdoor transit terminals – weatherproof, high-visibility signage

Case Study – Advanced Safety System Integration

FORTEC UK provided rugged TFT displays as part of an advanced safety system integration project in public transport.
