E Ink's Digital Paper is revolutionizing transportation signage by bringing the power of real-time updates to transportation patrons, and by reducing the need for construction costs and increasing a community's sustainability efforts. Signage using E Ink displays can run off solar power, resulting in an off-grid solution that eliminates running new power lines, or digging up city sidewalks or streets.

Do zoning laws in your area prevent light pollution? No problem! E Ink's products are not backlit and emit no blue light. Just like paper, they leverage the power of the sun, or a small LED frontlight. Now you can implement the best of both worlds - digital updates and a low power solution. In 2021, E Ink was been awarded the Dark Sky Certification

Real Time Passenger Information During a Crisis

 

Capital Metropolitan Transit Authority (Capital Metro), is an Austin-based public transit system historically serving more than 80,000 riders per day. Capital Metro is using Luminator Technology Group’s smart technology in combination with E Ink’s ePaper technology to effectively communicate arrival information as well as shifting schedules and updated safety policies to passengers.

 

In January of 2020, Capital Metro began installation of over 148 ePaper displays — both solar and traditionally powered — at bus stops, park and rides, light rail stations and remote stops. The 13” and 32” displays become a primary means of communicating with a public in need of assurance during the pandemic. The deployment of solar-powered displays provides transit agencies such as Capital Metro extra flexibility to reach remote areas and access a wider audience in times of crises.

 

Because the ePaper displays can be updated remotely, Capital Metro is able to push automatic updates and ensure rider access to up-to-date information while reducing labor costs associated with manually switching out paper displays.
