The present invention provides a
system and method for informing
public transport vehicle arrival information, the
system comprising: a plurality of on-board devices installed on respective
public transport vehicles, each of the on-board device having a
transceiver for transmitting and receiving data from and to
public transport vehicle stops along a public transport vehicle line, a first
processing unit programmed to store and process the received data, and a first display module which is operatively coupled to the first
processing unit and is for displaying the data, wherein the data includes identification of the vehicle, schedule
time frame and next schedule departure time of a following vehicle, the schedule
time frame being obtained by subtracting a current departure time at a vehicle terminus from a next schedule departure time,- and a plurality of public transport vehicle stop devices installed in the respective vehicle stops, each of the public transport vehicle stop device having a preset
vehicle identification therein and having a
transceiver for transmitting and receiving the data from and to the on-board device if the preset
vehicle identification matches the
vehicle identification of the on-board device, a second
processing unit programmed to store and update the received data to count down a
waiting time of the vehicle till zero and then, if necessary, switch to count up a
delay time, and a second display module which is operatively coupled to the second processing unit and is for displaying the
waiting time or the
delay time and other information.
