Single Color Graphic LED Stop Panels

Single Color Graphic LED Stop Panels

Basic properties of single color graphic LED panels

Single color graphic LED information panels are designed to display both text information and graphic information. The demanded information or graphics can be displayed in variously defined “windows”. They are produced in various sizes and renderings. The LED surface of these panels is seamless with no spaces between lines. These panels always contain LED diodes of the same color (red, yellow, white and others on demand).

The basic version is an independent LED panel that is placed on various support structures or on walls using various types of anchor (usually a mechanic frame on the back of the panel). If requested a support frame can be built into the panel. These panels are characterized by larger LED spacing (therefore also by visibility from longer distances) than in the case of digital stop signs.

Electronic display stop panels (hereinafter ELP) are designed for supplying to the passengers visual or voice information regarding public transportation vehicle arrivals, departures and delays, and also information regarding extraordinary situations in transportation and other news from the region. Up to date information is obtained from the dispatching or other sources. These panels are produced in a version with LED as well as in a version with LCD (see. LCD panels).

Communication abilities of the ELP electronic panels:

  •  GSM/GPRS or UMTS module
  • Alternatively via the Internet (ADSL).
  • WiFi modules for wireless connection of more panels at one stop.
  • WiFi modules supplying public internet to the passengers (a public HOT SPOT).
  • Busbars RS 485, Ethernet or optic fibers via “media” convertors.

Independent graphic LED panels – the ELP 3xx series

Graphic information LED panels of the ELP 3xx type are characterized by a significant amount of displayable signs. They are suitable for important stops or stations, transportation terminal access roads and large transfer junctions. They are designed in such a way that it is easy for a passenger to find information regarding departures, platform numbers and delays. They can also be equipped with a camera allowing the dispatching to gather information about the passengers.

They are produced in various versions. There are 5-line and 3-line versions, versions with a number of lines according to the wish of the customer and also double-sided or single-sided versions.

Historic graphic information LED panels

A demonstration of a solution of electronic LED information panels that we participated in as a part of the „Electronic information panels for large loops and junctions“ project for the IDS JMK[3]. The project started in 2006.  Our company  realized all communication, video and voice functions of these panels. Since 2011 we have realized these panels completely including LED board production and control. Now all the panels are equipped with newer control units – PC rendering and UMTS communication.
