Public Information Dynamics (PIMS)

The system represents Tecnau solution for management of dynamic public information for transportation.
PIMS joins completely natively with the CTC and provides dynamic information to public, about trains / vehicles leaving through the visual messages and / or audio messages.

The Tecnau PIMS passenger information system (Public Information Management System) integrates and enhances the services provided by the operators trough real time information. The calculation of the vehicles’ departure times (trains, trams, buses, underground trains) is made on the basis of their real position through to the integration of the system with the vehicle position indicator systems

Furthermore, the system can send special text messages which facilitate the communication in real time between operators and users. These messages can be displayed on information panels, to inform passengers about cancelled or unscheduled departures, special offers, events, advertising, etc.
