Abstract
Information matters to the railway’s customers; it is a common phenomenon in many countries
which is also significant problem in AALRT. It always determines the quality of the
transportation system. Therefore designing passenger information system is necessary to realize
transportation quality, safety and reliability. In this paper the design of passenger information
system is presented (possibly) the design was implemented using the platform. For the design of
this system three modules which are global positioning system train locator unit, central control
system (central server), and passenger information display unit will be used. It uses global
positioning system technology to collect the real time information about the train including
vehicle location, direction, speed and others. Global system for mobile telecommunication
module is used for data transmission between central command and moving train. A passenger
information system (PIS), fixed at station provide real-time passenger information it received
from the central server to a passenger at stations. It may include present location, time to reach
the platform, delay time, train space, updated schedule and safety information. Finally it is
expected that this system will provide information to passengers with a little delay and a better
accuracy in local language.
