ATRON Passenger Display Controller (APDC)

With the APDC, ATRON has developed its own display controller for the dynamic passenger information display (DFI). The solution is installed in external displays from various manufacturers and then connected to the ATCS-RX control centre. The APDC serves as a front end to the ATRON ATCS RX (operations control centre) and enables an integrated control and monitoring of the displays.

The advantages at a glance:

  • display of text and pictograms
  • output of loudspeaker announcements
  • permanent connection to the ATRON control centre (ATCS RX) via LAN, LTE or WLAN
  • quick sign out of the vehicle after departure
  • support of two displays with different content
  • mirroring the display to the ATRON control centre (ATCS RX)
  • remote maintenance interface to the ATRIES backend

The APDC integrates the exterior displays into the ATRON DEBAS and like all devices in the DEBAS family,  it is easy to check and maintain. The ATRON Passenger Display Controller can be installed in all outdoor displays and enables the control of LED displays in a wide variety of formats.

The APDC also supports the following additional functions:

  • read out the display text on request
