Transportation

The concourse board
and everything around it.

A station runs two kinds of screen: the ones that carry live service information, and the many more that carry everything else — wayfinding, safety, retail, notices. ScreenQube runs the second kind across every site you operate, from one browser.

Plans, prices and trials are set by your ScreenQube partner.

What goes on the screens

Six things worth putting up.

Every one of these is ordinary media, arranged in Composition and sent out by Publish. Nothing here needs a separate system.

Wayfinding and exits

Platforms, gates, taxi ranks and step-free routes.

Safety and security notices

Line-of-sight notices that have to be current across every site.

Service notices and disruption messaging

Published as media to the screens and sites you choose.

Retail and concession promotion

The commercial screens beside the information ones.

Timetable posters and seasonal changes

The printed timetable, replaced without a print run.

Staff and depot notices

Back-of-house screens on the same platform.

Where the screens go

Four walls that earn it.

  1. Concourse and ticket hall

    Wayfinding, notices and commercial content in the busiest space you have.

  2. Platform and gate approaches

    Short, legible, and read at a glance.

  3. Interchange and taxi ranks

    Where people are deciding where to go next.

  4. Depots and staff areas

    Rotas, safety and operational notices.

How it is run

Four steps, then it runs itself.

The same four steps whether you have four screens or four hundred. This is the real console, not an illustration.

  1. Add facilities, pair screens

    One facility per site, branch or building. A screen joins by showing a registration code, which you type in once. Switch between facilities from the header.

  2. Upload and compose

    Media goes into the library, in folders, with tags. Composition arranges it into zones — your own files, plus App Store apps like weather, news or a ticker.

  3. Publish three ways

    On a schedule, with day sequences. Or QuickPlay, which the console describes as displaying content instantly for a flash sale or an emergency. Or as the default composition a screen falls back to.

  4. Check it, without going there

    Live Monitoring reports each screen's state. Take Screenshot shows what one is really displaying. Reload, clear the cache or reboot it remotely.

What it fixes

The three complaints we actually hear.

Notices are printed per station and nobody knows which are current.
One library, one publish, and Audits recording each change.
A screen at a small station has been dark for weeks.
Total Disconnected Screens is a headline tile, per facility.
Every station is a separate estate to manage.
Each station is a facility. Publish targets one, several, or all of them.

Questions

What transportation teams ask first.

Can it drive live arrivals and departures from our feed?

No live transport-data integration has been observed in the console. See the passenger information page for exactly what is and is not confirmed today.

Can we manage each station separately?

Yes. Each station is a facility with its own screens and a facility switcher in the header.

What happens if a site loses connectivity?

The screen is counted in Total Disconnected Screens. Whether a player continues to play its last content offline has not been confirmed.

What hardware is supported?

Android players, on displays you own.

Put it on every screen.
