Real-time passenger information, digital signage, wayfinding and advertising, all managed from a single web interface, even for the largest of systems.
Smart pi EYE is the visual display system in the Smart pi ECOsystem. It brings together real-time passenger information, digital signage, dynamic wayfinding and messaging, and scales from a single screen to many thousands of displays across stations, interchanges, airports and other public areas.
Each screen is driven by a compact Smart pi EYE-HD media player, so no PC is needed at the display. Every view is generated automatically by the system and nothing is stored on the screen itself, which keeps installation simple and management in one place.
Like every Smart pi product, Smart pi EYE is part of the Smart pi ECOsystem and works together with Smart pi DVA, Smart pi DVA GTFS, Smart pi RTA, Smart pi HLP Help and Information Points and Smart pi NMS (under development).
Real-time Passenger Information
Smart pi EYE shows accurate, up-to-the-minute service information from GTFS timetables and GTFS-R real-time updates, so passengers always know when their next service is due and where to go.
Display Information Your Way
Choose a display type, create a template and Smart pi EYE renders the information in the right format for every screen. All display types can be customised to your design or corporate identity, and ready-made Default, Dark and Smart pi templates are included.

Dynamic Wayfinding & LED Displays
Move crowds where you want them. Smart pi EYE drives custom size LED displays with integrated real-time transport data, for bright, clear wayfinding indoors and outdoors.
Interactive Kiosks
The Smart pi EYE Kiosk trip planner uses real-time updates and custom 3D models to simplify travel, highlighting schedules, routes and points of interest for an engaging and efficient planning experience.
Integrated Marketing & Messaging
Combine passenger information with advertising and messages on the same screens, using templates that keep every display on brand.
Speech to Text & Audio Integration
Show live and DVA announcements on screen, so information reaches every passenger, whether they hear it or see it.
Integrations
Smart pi EYE natively supports GTFS, GTFS-R and RSS feeds. Real-time data in SIRI or custom formats is handled by the Smart pi RTA, which converts it to GTFS for the Smart pi EYE Server.

The Hardware: Smart pi EYE-HD
The Smart pi EYE-HD is a small embedded media player installed at each screen. It needs only a network connection and USB power, which can come from the screen itself, and outputs up to 1080p over HDMI. Only the device name is set on the unit; everything else is controlled in real time from the main web interface. Learn more about the Smart pi EYE-HD.
