The Francilienne tramways are entering a new era of passenger information: a success story thanks to InStore Solution
Passenger information has become a key issue in transport networks. Readability, responsiveness, accessibility and real-time dissemination are now indispensable to support the millions of users who use public transport on a daily basis.
In Île-de-France, the tram lines operated by the RATP are gradually being equipped with a new generation of Passenger Information Points (BIV), inspired by the equipment already deployed in the metro. This modernization aims to offer a smoother, more intuitive, and more homogeneous experience to all travelers. The new displays, among other things, allow for the visualization of waiting times for upcoming crossings, available connections, and real-time traffic information.
An innovation at the service of more than a million travelers per day
The Francilien tramway network is now an essential link in the mobility network in Île-de-France. Faced with the growth in passenger numbers and the aging of some of the historical infrastructure, Île-de-France Mobilités has launched a vast program to modernize its passenger information systems.
The objective is clear: to offer a consistent information standard throughout the entire transport journey and significantly improve the quality of service offered to passengers. The new BIVs thus make it possible to disseminate up-to-date information in real time while providing improved readability, new accessibility features and centralized monitoring of equipment.
InStore Solution, at the heart of the project
This transformation is based on the expertise of the teams at InStore Solution, a subsidiary of the Interway Group specializing in the design, manufacture, and deployment of innovative digital solutions.
Manufactured in France, the new bus stops have been designed to meet numerous technical and operational constraints. They were intended, in particular, to integrate into existing infrastructures that are sometimes very different from one line to another, while guaranteeing excellent readability, whatever the operating conditions.
The InStore Solution teams have thus developed a robust and intelligent solution that integrates:
- high visibility screens ensuring optimal readability
- an automatic adjustment of the brightness according to the external conditions
- features dedicated to the accessibility of visually impaired people
- advanced capabilities for supervision and remote maintenance
- real-time management of the information disseminated to travelers
Beyond the material design, this project illustrates InStore Solution’s ability to integrate technologies, develop specific business functionalities, and support complex projects on a large scale.
