Transport for Wales would like to specify a standard interface between the Content Management System and RTI Displays, that suppliers would need to comply/work with to enable TfW to procure a single CMS that can interface to multiple displays from a number of suppliers.The standard will specify the minimum capability that is to be expected of all displays supported through the interface (i.e. be able to represent real time vehicle arrival/departure information, text based messages and hold the scheduled timetable for at least that day's services).The interface will cater for the following:<ul><li>Basic text based displays</li><li>Graphical displays - in addition to the minimum capability, also be able to provide additional information such as weather, news feeds, advertising, information videos etc.</li><li>Off grid displays - these will not have ready access to power and may not have significant data bandwidth available to show graphical content.</li></ul>The interface should also cater for fault management data to be passed back to the CMS to enable monitoring and fault rectification.This session will look at the requirements for a basic interface between CMS and Displays in detail and agree how to develop a protocol.
