Transign has announced the North American release of the LED Destinator EnCompass, a hands-free destination sign system that combines GPS-based message progression with Transign’s existing LED Destinator platform to improve transit safety and reliability.
The LED Destinator EnCompass system enables messages displayed on all interior and exterior signage (destination, next stop, route number, and interior passenger information) to continually update based on a bus’ ever-changing location, eliminating driver distractions and helping them maintain focus on roads, stops, and on-board passengers. The system also proves extremely beneficial to dispatch operations, providing more accurate location information as well as more efficient control over route information and changes.
“Safety and efficiency are among our highest priorities,” said Jamie Lipka, Transign’s president, “and we are excited to bring large HD fleet capabilities to smaller, more rural areas. With our value added customizable packages, we hope our unique system will allow all agencies to experience the safety and reliability of AVL software regardless of their size or budget.”
The LED Destinator EnCompass sign system gives transit agencies an affordable solution to improve their service and communication, increase ridership, and run more efficiently to maximize revenue.
