Provision of a Public Transport Stop Information System

Tender description

The NTA wishes to develop and implement A Public Transport Stop Information System to reference data from all public transport operators in Ireland, process this data and output the information to be displayed on printed media at public transport stops/stations. This output from the system will be in the format of files that can be sent directly to a printing system for printing without further processing of the data. The printed information will be deployed on a new style bus stop. The new style of bus stop will consist of three different elements – bus stop, bus shelter, and monolith – each of which will have different requirements for its display panels. In addition route and operator information will be deployed on new style bus stop flags. While initially just bus stops, bus shelters and monoliths are in scope, it is anticipated that the Public Transport Stop Information System will in a later phase of work be expanded to include the production of information for display at LUAS (tram) stops and rail stations in Ireland. The system should be designed and built with this in mind. The printing process and the provision of printers are outside the scope of this contract.
