Founded in 1870, The Ottawa City Passenger Railway Company<\/em> \u2013 today operating under the brand OC Transpo \u2013 has been providing transportation to Ottawa\u2019s residents for over 150 years. OC Transpo operates a modern fleet of buses and light rail trains. Their modern vehicles offer commuters better planning and traveling information through real-time tracking of vehicle positions thanks to Passenger Information Systems (PISs), with all scheduling and relevant information prominently displayed for everyone to see.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n Solotech\u2019s integration expertise evolved into designing a rugged custom ITS cabinet and kiosk that withstand Canadian climate year-round and fulfill OC Transpo\u2019s desired \u201clook.\u201d<\/em> The PIDs are an integral part of OC Transpo\u2019s commitment to providing relevant passenger information.

For this collaborative effort with OC Transpo, Solotech\u2019s Designer Martin Kyncl engineered and 3D-modeled an enclosure in line with OC Transpo\u2019s graphic standards and desire to house and protect the Samsung\u2019s IP56\/IK10 55-inch display. An outdoor display rugged enough to withstand snow, rain, sun, dust, and vandalism while meeting OC Transpo\u2019s design criteria and corporate branding needs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
