Definitions

  • This invention relates to bus stop poles, by which is meant road furniture of the type which is largely upright and intended to indicate to passengers and to drivers where a bus or other public transport vehicle is intended to stop to discharge and pick up passengers.
  • GB-A-2 214 691 discloses a bus stop in the form of an upright carrying a cylindrical drum which is rotatable about the axis of the upright.
  • the drum has fluorescent tubes within it intended to back-light information sheets or advertising material mounted on curved panels forming part of the cylindrical portion of the drum.
  • This known device has the disadvantage that the displayed information is static.
  • the present invention aims at providing a bus stop pole which is water- and vandal-proof, and which provides means by which intending passengers may ask for relevant information to be displayed on request.
  • the present invention provides a bus stop pole which is as claimed in the appended claims.
  • the bus stop 16 shown in Fig. 1 is as it would be seen from the roadway. It comprises an upright in the form of a pole 8, preferably of stainless steel.
  • the upright 8 is intended to have its lower end (as viewed) embedded in cement or other means to keep it in place despite attempts by vandals to remove or distort it.
  • a housing 7 attached firmly to the upright.
  • the housing has two oppositely-directed major surfaces 12 and 14 (of which only surface 12 is shown in Fig. 1). This surface is intended to face the roadway, so that it can be viewed conveniently by people in passing vehicles, and on walkways on the opposite side of the road.
  • Surface 12 is intended to have its major area covered by a display panel on which a poster 6 may be mounted, the poster being able to be lit by means of a light source positioned within the housing 7.
  • a display panel on which a poster 6 may be mounted the poster being able to be lit by means of a light source positioned within the housing 7.
  • the manner in which the poster is positioned on the housing does not form part of the subject-matter of this invention, and so will not be described herein in any further detail.
  • Another part of the surface 12 may have a panel on which is displayed the name or location of the bus stop, and this may likewise be illuminated from within the housing.
  • a plate 1 having two major faces.
  • Fig. 1 shows the plate as being oriented such that it is parallel with the roadside kerb, and therefore with the surfaces 12 and 14, it is within the purview of this invention to orient it at right-angles to the kerb, so that it may be viewed from afar by intending passengers approaching the bus stop from either direction.
  • the plate may be of cruciform cross-section, so that it presents a similar appearance whatever the location of a viewer.
  • the plate On both or all of its major surfaces, the plate bears indicia indicating which route(s) serves the stop.
  • the route identity information is displayed on a back-lit transparent or translucent member (not shown).
  • the display surface of the housing 7 is significantly different from that of Fig. 1. It is divided into at least one large panel 2 covered with an array of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and another panel 3 forming a touch-screen liquid-crystal display. In one embodiment of the invention the panel 2 is divided into two incremental panels. One of these sub-panels may be used to display non-transport information controlled by a remote centre, while the other one would be intended to display bus route information and operational messages. At times the display on both sub-panels could be changed from the centre to display advertising material.
  • LEDs light-emitting diodes
  • the panel 3 could be used to display route information, such as a route map and a fare table, together with such information that the bus operator wants to show, such as the Web page or address of the operator.
  • route information such as a route map and a fare table
  • a loudspeaker Positioned towards the bottom end of the housing (as viewed) is a loudspeaker. This could be operated optionally at the choice of intending passengers, or permanently, to announce in words what the display is showing. When the display in operated in two or more languages, the language of the aural announcements is changed appropriately.
  • Fig. 3 shows the appearance of the pole 16 from one side.
  • this invention provides a bus stop pole which displays and announces variable information requested by intending passengers, as well as the usual static information, and advertising material under the control of the bus company.
