Next-Gen Passenger Experiences: Smart Displays & Embedded Tech Shaping the Future of Transportation

As cities grow smarter and travellers demand more from public transport, the technology powering the journey must evolve just as rapidly. At FORTEC UK, we are redefining how information is delivered across rail, bus, and EV networks—merging intelligent display systems, embedded computing, and interactive touch solutions into the next era of connected travel.

From platform to vehicle, our technology transforms every point of the passenger journey into an opportunity for clarity, efficiency, and engagement.

Smart Display Design: Size, Brightness, and Strategic Innovation

In intelligent transport systems, display screen size and brightness are no longer simple choices—they’re strategic decisions:

• Large-format screens up to 85" turn crowded concourses into live, interactive information zones.

• Panoramic bar-type displays (37", 42", 48") elegantly fit space-constrained locations while maximising content visibility.

• Hi-TNI 110°C LCDs eliminate blackening in full-sunlight use cases—essential for EV chargers, outdoor platforms, and roadside installations.

• Brightness levels reaching 4500 cd/m² cut through glare, ensuring real-time content delivery is never lost, even in peak daylight.

Touchscreens: Where Human Experience Meets Digital Intelligence

The touchscreen is the digital handshake of modern public transport. At FORTEC UK, our PCAP multi-touch solutions enable:

• Frictionless ticketing and journey planning

• Self-service EV charging interfaces

• Accessible wayfinding tools

Our rugged displays feature optical bonding, vandal-resistant glass, and glove-capable sensitivity, blending durability with the feel of premium consumer devices.

Embedded Intelligence at the Edge

Every display can act as a smart node within a wider transport network. With embedded systems from our partners including AAEON and ASRock, we enable:

• Edge processing for AI vision systems

• Real-time diagnostics and system health monitoring

• Data-driven content delivery and remote management

This transforms static signage into dynamic platforms—capable of adapting to traffic, weather, or passenger behaviour.

Engineered for Urban Resilience

All FORTEC UK systems are built to withstand the realities of transport environments:

• Wide operating temperatures

• IP-rated enclosures

• Conformal coatings for environmental resistance

• Shock and vibration tolerance for vehicle-mounted systems

Visionary Partnerships, Future-Proof Results

Through collaboration with technology leaders like Litemax, AUO, our own brand and AAEON, FORTEC UK delivers more than products—we build connected infrastructure. Whether it's a 37" all-in-one panel PC for a rail platform or a fully integrated 15.6" touchscreen ticketing kiosk, our solutions are designed with the future in mind.
