Nomad Digital has created an On-Board Information Services (OBIS) solution in which content changes are now synchronised through various types and groups of equipment.
OBIS is a service deployed by passenger operating companies and are commonly found on rail and bus services. Key information can be provided to the passenger, such as:
- Real-time passenger journey
- Operational information
- Multi-media infotainment and advertising.
Sam Taylor, Digital Marketing & Insights Executive at Nomad Digital, said: “Our OBIS solution has been developed with the operator’s needs in mind and the passenger as the end-user.
“Content changes are now synchronised through various types and groups of equipment – all changing on screens at the same time, announcements inline – events triggered on various types of devices (driven by OBIS).
“The operator sends alerts and chooses key news/events to show, driven by the journey rather than the passenger and can show both videos and messaging in sync creating a professional environment on the train.”
For rail operators, OBIS provides perfect tools and services to assist them in doing their jobs by providing all required information on on-train user interfaces and handheld devices.
Sam added: “The benefits to implementing our OBIS solution includes having that single platform solution for a better passenger rail travel experience, and the fact it creates a unique user experience on both mobile devices and fixed on-board screens.
