Where are we going on real time information?
The provision of Real Time Information systems for bus passengers continues to grow at around 20% a year but on some systems passengers would be better informed if they ignored the information displays.
These are two of the conclusions in our latest Market Intelligence report on this high-tech means of providing potential bus passengers with information and reassurance.
The 84-page report looks at 71 UK systems and tests the performance of four representative systems, as well as reviewing past research. Beacon based systems have now been left with a very limited specialist role as universal GPS coverage has taken over, with London, the last bastion of beacons now catching up with the rest of the country. Four suppliers have provided 50 of the 71 installed systems and there is evidence of consolidation in this diverse market. The pace of technological change is resulting in abandonment of some early systems and conflicting technical standards in adjacent areas now present problems.
