The Multimodal Information Screen of the UAS Technikum Wien informs about a large number of departure times of the location-specific public transport, as well as about the free bicycles of the surrounding city bike stations. In case of disruptions or delays of the Wiener Linien, which affect the stations at the respective location, the corresponding information is also displayed on the screen. This departure monitor has been developed within the study program Transport and Environment at the UAS Technikum Wien and is intended as a fixed device to display the different transportation modes of the near vicinity, as well as the current traffic situation.
The first prototype of this application was developed for the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien, and it uses already installed screens to display transportation options within the neighborhood. These screens are positioned throughout the building complex and are mainly used to display internal news as well as announcements for events and logos of sponsoring partners. Some of these screens are placed above or near the elevators and some can be found in the entrance hall.
Our application is highly customizable and can be adjusted for any location in Vienna. Possible target groups for installations are universities and companies as well as publicly accessible places like museums, hospitals, or official buildings. Highly frequented places are the most useful positions for the Multimodal Information Screen. So far, we established our application for both locations of the UAS Technikum Wien (Hoechstaedtplatz and Energybase) as well as for the area of the technical museum of Vienna.
