Rail Stations

The world's leading e-paper passenger information display for rail stations

Improve the passenger experience with Papercast® e-paper information signage. Solar powered outdoor displays are easy to install, allowing you to provide real-time arrival information on platforms where mains power isn’t available, while portable battery powered signage supports passenger flow within the station concourse and ticket halls.

Papercast for Rail Transport

Our technology offers a distinctive combination of features, making it the most advanced solution of its kind. The display content can be updated with just a few clicks using the Papercast management system, which seamlessly integrates with your data sources for live content updates.

Platform Arrivals

Solar powered e-paper displays provide live train status and departure information in positions on longer platforms where standard mains powered screens are not visible, and in remote locations where mains power isn’t available.

Passenger Flow

Portable e-paper displays help direct passenger flow through all station processes, providing the flexibility to quickly handle congestion and safety issues, while reducing queue times.

Disruption Management

Battery powered portable signage can be positioned in station concourse areas and ticket halls to provide information on service disruptions, alternative routes and replacement services.

E-paper displays go track side

“While Papercast’s unique characteristics are perfect for bus stops, they are also very well suited to remote train stations such as Bělušice. We are delighted to work with AŽD Prague on this opportunity and look forward to bringing the benefits of real-time arrival information to rail passengers more widely”.
