Electronic Sign Systems
Axion manufactures its own electronic sign systems to ensure a perfect match with the audio architecture. The liquid crystal display panels with their mosaic of characters offer the best possible readability along with total ease of maintenance. Our light-emitting diode panels (LED) let you write messages using a dot matrix. Given their luminous quality, they provide a dynamic, multipurpose visual effect inside rail cars.
Our sign components serve different purposes:
- Destination signs inform people outside the vehicle of its itinerary
- Interior signs are part of the audio communication system and indicate station names, service messages, and other information
- Operator control panels allow attendants to view messages and select the appropriate ones
- Messages on seats inform attendants of passenger departure and arrival points
- Fluorescent maps indicate stops along specific routes
- Signs show when washrooms and telephones are in use
Our systems are available for shuttle, high speed, intercity, light rail, and monorail trains.
Destination Signs
Liquid crystal display signs made up of a mosaic of characters offer the best obtainable readability. Since none of the parts are mobile, message transmission is always smooth. Various character sizes and dot matrices are available. Ambient lighting is enhanced by a reflective device, thereby further enhancing readability. Unlike technology used for other types of signs, liquid crystal displays are more energy efficient. Pixel longevity is also greater.
The bus components include:
- Outside panels for the front, back, and sides
- Inside signs indicating next stop and other information to passengers
- Operator control panel enabling the driver to view, modify, and select messages
Complementary subsystems included free of charge:
- Digitized Public Address Systems
- Soundtrack corresponding to sign message
- On Route Positioning
- Automatic Message Selection (depending on bus location)
- 911 Emergency Calling
- Driver-Operated Outside Emergency Signal
- Infrared Database Downloading
Neither magnetic card nor computer is required to download the vehicle's database.
Our systems are available for shuttle, regional, long distance, and charter buses, as well as motorcoaches.
