Passenger information to reduce boarding time at stations |
 |
evaluated |
 |
|
|
| The average boarding time at stations has a strong impact on overall punctuality which in return is relevant for the realization of energy efficient driving. Passenger information systems on platforms are expected to yield improvements in this field.

Punctual departure from stations is a key success factor for the realization of energy efficient driving strategies. One of the major influence factors for a rapid passenger boarding is the provision of clear and reliable information on the position of individual coaches. This can be achieved by electronic display boards on platforms fed by a telematic system collecting real-time information from trains. A project at DSB shows that implementation is feasible at reasonable cost. However, the effectiveness of such a system and its relevance for energy efficiency have to be proven yet. |
