The problems screens solve in transportation

  • Static boards can't show live departures, the Indian Railways widget renders a live station departure board on any screen, no custom development.
  • Rows of screens drift out of sync, Sync Play keeps screen groups frame-synchronized, and Split Screen mode maps one canvas across a video wall.
  • A dead screen in a terminal is invisible to HQ, automatic offline email alerts, uptime timelines, remote screenshots and remote restart cover far-flung sites.
  • Terminals confuse travellers, DigiMaps adds wayfinding kiosks with live transit departures (GTFS-RT), flight boards (FIDS) and emergency-exit routing.

Typical setups

  • Station concourse boards

    Live Indian Railways departures beside scheduled service notices and advertising loops.

  • Platform screen rows

    Sync Play keeps a row of platform screens frame-identical, so content reads as one continuous message.

  • Airport and terminal wayfinding

    DigiMaps kiosks show routes, FIDS flight boards and live transit connections, with QR handoff to a phone.

  • Transit advertising networks

    Sell screen time with confidence: proof-of-play logs document every play for every campaign.

Built for the job

Digisigns features transportation teams lean on

Live railway departure boards

The Indian Railways widget shows live station departures on any screen, publish it like any other content.

Sync Play across concourses

Frame-synchronized playback across screen groups, with video-wall Split Screen mapping by coordinates and orientation.

Wayfinding with transit feeds

Proof-of-play for advertisers

Per-screen playback logs verify ad delivery across the network, with PDF report exports for media buyers.

Live information travellers can trust

A departure board is a promise: what it shows must be true right now. Digisigns ships a live Indian Railways departure widget for station screens, and DigiMaps extends the same discipline to airports and multimodal hubs, GTFS-RT transit departures and FIDS flight boards that hide themselves rather than show stale data, plus wayfinding with emergency-exit routing. Around the live data, schedules rotate service notices and campaigns exactly on time. See the platform overview at /features.

Operate a network, not screens

Transport signage is a distributed-operations problem: hundreds of screens, dozens of sites, patchy connectivity. Digisigns publishes over instant cloud push, queues Novastar LED publishes offline with retry, and tells you by email the moment any screen dies, with uptime timelines and remote restart to fix it from HQ. Proof-of-play reporting makes the ad inventory sellable, the same way event venues document sponsor exposure. Public-information governance, approvals, audit logs, scoped roles, matches what government and healthcare operators already require.

Transportation digital signage FAQs

Can Digisigns show live train departures?
Yes. A built-in Indian Railways widget renders a live station departure board that you publish to screens like any other content. For airports and multimodal hubs, DigiMaps adds GTFS-RT transit departures and FIDS flight boards that hide themselves if a feed is unavailable.
Can multiple screens play exactly the same content in sync?
Yes. Sync Play rooms keep playback frame-synchronized across a screen group, and Split Screen mode maps sections of one canvas to each display for video walls.
How do we monitor screens spread across many stations?
Every screen reports status centrally: automatic offline email alerts, per-screen uptime timelines, remote screenshots, remote restart and scheduled power, no site visits to check a display.
Does it support outdoor LED boards?
Novastar LED controllers are supported, including offline-queued publishing with automatic retry, useful where station connectivity is unreliable.
Can we prove ads played for media buyers?
Yes. Proof-of-play logs record plays per screen, media and playlist, with playback-hour and play-count reports exportable to PDF.
