Papercast Limited is a real-time passenger information technology for bus stops, utilising solar powered e-paper (electronic paper) displays. It displays real-time bus arrival information, bus timetables and other public transportation information.
History
Papercast was founded in 2016. Papercast wirelessly delivers passenger information at bus stops to solar powered e-paper displays. To improve the accuracy of bus arrival predictions, the displays are controlled by a cloud-based management system with instant GTFS integration and AVL data normalisation.[1] Papercast develops its own e-paper driver board.[2]
In April 2019 Papercast was launched in Coffs Harbour, NSW with BetterETA technology in collaboration with NSW Government initiative, led in partnership between Transport for NSW, local bus operator Busways, Coffs Harbour City Council and vehicle manufacturer EasyMile.[3]
Papercast multi-language E Ink technology solar powered e-paper bus stop displays were deployed by Projectile in 2018 for the Jerusalem Transportation Master Plan Team in Israel.[4]
In February 2018, E Ink Holdings partnered with Papercast Ltd to supply a solar powered e-paper passenger information display technology in Japan for a smart bus stop project.[5]
Papercast solar powered e-paper bus stop displays are being trailed and are functional all over the world including, UK, Germany, Italy, USA, Japan and Kuwait etc.[6][7][8]
