Double-Sided LCD Displays for Public Transport
MetroSpec double-sided passenger information displays help transport operators communicate real-time arrival, departure, service and safety information clearly along station platforms and concourses.
Each display presents information in both directions, making it easier for passengers to view important updates wherever they are standing. The slimline format also provides a modern, space-efficient alternative to conventional full-height LCD displays.
Designed and manufactured in Australia by Metromatics under the MetroSpec brand. These displays can be configured for railway stations, light rail platforms, bus terminals and other indoor or outdoor public transport applications.
Designed for Australian Transport Environments
Outdoor passenger information displays must remain readable and reliable through changing light, temperature and weather conditions.
MetroSpec double-sided LCD displays combine high-brightness commercial display panels with sealed, weather-resistant enclosures. IP65-rated protection helps guard the internal equipment against dust and water, while integrated heating and cooling can be incorporated to support dependable operation in demanding environments.
Anti-reflective laminated glass improves visibility in bright conditions and provides additional protection in publicly accessible locations.

Passenger Information Display System Integration
MetroSpec displays can be integrated with a transport operator’s existing passenger information system, content management platform or rail management software.
Depending on the project requirements, Metromatics can incorporate media players, industrial computers, network connectivity, audio equipment and other control hardware within the display assembly. This gives operators and system integrators a practical, project-specific solution rather than a standard commercial screen installed inside a generic enclosure.
