Multi-colour LED Displays
Buoyed by the commercial and technical success of led display signs introduced during
2002, Hanover Displays has now extended the range by adding multi-coloured led route
number signs and full colour signs. The new range incorporates the most recent led
technology and can be easily programmed to generate characters in full 24 bit colour.
The modules are capable of displaying characters or backgrounds in a pre-determined
colour, thus providing the best combination of hues to optimise contrast and legibility.
512 colour palette
Coloured Outline
The principal innovation applied to these products lies in the solution adopted to maintain
uniformity of colour whatever the viewing angle. As opposed to other colour displays on
the market where different colours tend to take preference dependent on the position
from which they are viewed. Hanover's specialised knowledge and expertise in the area
of on board passenger information equipment has allowed it to implement a system
which avoids the predominance of one colour over another.
Characteristics
Lightweight, slim-line case made from durable
aluminium
Horizontal louvres protect the diodes' upper
surface from sunlight, thus improving contrast
Viewing angle of approximately 140°
to optimise legibility
High character resolution due to the type,
quantity and layout of the diodes
Meets electro-magnetic compatibility standards
for on board equipment
Careful selection of components and highly
efficient electronics minimise maintenance
Automatic adjustment of display brightness
as a function of ambient light conditions
Meticulous development programme to ensure
a reliable, high performance product range
Resistant to the effects of ultra violet light
Full colour front sign
The multi-coloured route panel can be located on either the right or left hand side of the destination display.

Daylight Viewable LED Displays
Hanover now has a range of LED destination displays to provide an even greater choice for
the operator. Similar to the flip-dot, the LED sign has no moving parts and has been made
highly reliable and comes with Hanover’s 10 YEAR GUARANTEE. The equipment can be
easily programmed using the same Windows based HELEN software as the flip-dot signs.
Benefits include:
Our standard LED signs are louvred for
maximum visibility in all lighting conditions.
Built in ambient light sensor ensures
maximum legibility day and night.
Our signs are fully electronic with no
moving mechanical parts.
Wide viewing angle.
DPTAC and DDA compliant.
User friendly programming through our
Windows based Helen software.
Our signs can display in different languages.
No eprom changes are necessary when
updating or changing software.
Curved Daylight viewable LED signs
This development has led to improved
vehicle aesthetics both inside and outside
the vehicle and increased legibility by
ensuring the sign is in close proximity with
the windscreen at all positions along its
curvature. The incorporation of a tinted, non
reflective window further increases contrast.
Rapidly evolving vehicle design and
manufacturing
techniques
have
required Hanover to respond by
developing a truly curved led sign.
Various radii and sizes of signs are
available, fitting most standard curved
windscreens.

LED School Bus Display
To compliment our range of LED destination displays for city buses & coaches, Hanover
Displays Ltd has now designed LED signs specifically for use on school buses. These
units are designed to stand alone without an additional controller and will display a fixed
message which is designed to warn other road users to take care. Typically the message
will alternate with flashing columns of red and amber LED’s on either side of the text to
highlight the display. The sign is activated when the door switch is in the open position
and deactivated when closed so that the warning message is displayed when children
are getting on and off the bus. The signs come with Hanover’s 10 Year Guarantee.
Sign Features:
Built-in or external light sensors in every
sign to automatically adjust the
brightness of the display according to the
ambient light levels.
Bright LEDs, with an excellent viewing
angle, to ensure good visibility even in
sunny conditions.

LED Minibus Displays
Increased flexibility -many messages can be stored on the Hanover control units, which
have at least 1 Mb of memory.
Better & more visible information for their passengers - bi-lingual messages (in English
& Chinese) can be quickly & easily created in our sign programming software (called
HELEN). The messages are then transferred from the office PC to a data transfer unit
(called Keylo) & from there direct to the Hanover control unit on the minibus. There is no
need for printed or hand-written cards which can be difficult to read or misplaced. Once the
messages are programmed into the Hanover control unit, the LED signs will display the
correct information.
Reliability - the LED minibus displays are supported by an excellent parts warranty &
experienced local support.
Marketing - additional advertising & marketing potential as well as improved appearance to
your bus fleet, which will make your buses more attractive than your competitors who do not
have these modern types of electronic displays on their buses

Hazard Warning System
Accidental collisions of double-decker buses with low bridges are a recurring bus operator's
nightmare. Passengers' lives are at risk and the operator can be liable to multi-million pound
lawsuits. The Hazard Warning System has been specifically designed to meet the needs of
bus operators and to make use of recent improvements in accuracy of the GPS satellite
navigation system.
It provides an audio/visual warning of the approach of a bus to a hazard. It is a completely
self-contained system, it does not require connection to any other equipment, and operates
completely autonomously. It does not require any input or control from the driver eliminating
the possibility of erroneous input or accidental disabling of the system. The unit has also
been designed to reduce the possibility of accidental or deliberate tampering with the alarm
unit and its cables.
The Hazard Warning System contains a built
-in database of hazards the operator wishes
to avoid. A hazard can be overhanging trees, a
low bridge, a one way street, road works etc.
There are four phases to the alarm two
warning visual indications from an ultra-bright
red LED followed by two audible warnings
from a high-power sounder as the bus
approaches the hazard
The Hazard database can be configured to
include directional information for each
hazard. This can be useful for approaching
one-way streets or where a low bridge is a
hazard from one direction but not from
another (e.g. a flyover).
Hanover completed its first installation of a
hazard warning system at Go-Ahead
Gateshead in 1999. This system used radio
beacons fitted to low bridges with a short
range radio transmitter and receivers on the
buses. Our new GPS system allows
operation over much wider areas without
having to rely on external infrastructure.
NB: Ultimately, the Hazard Warning System can only provide a warning, it cannot prevent a bus from physically
hitting a hazard. The Hazard Warning System is a significant aid to safety but the ultimate responsibility for the
vehicle remains with the driver. The product makes no connection to the basic driving circuits, brakes, steering
or lighting.

LED Interior Vehicle Lighting
Hanover Displays has developed an on-board interior LED lighting solution to replace existing fluorescent
tubes. Hanover Displays LED lighting consumes half the power of fluorescent lighting, saving hundreds of
litres of fuel each year, resulting in a rapid return on investment.
Efficient – better than twice as energy efficient as
ordinary fluorescent tubes. The lighting is wired
directly to the vehicle power supply so there is no
longer any need for unreliable inverters.
Cost saving – through reduced fuel consumption. Our
research has shown that in most cases the product
will have paid for itself within one year of operation.
Reliable – life expectancy of LEDs is over 80,000*
hours, so minimal maintenance is required in
comparison to fluorescent tubes.
Easy Installation – our tubes have the same
dimensions and use the same terminal fittings as
existing fluorescent tubes, so they are quick and easy
to install. LED lighting tubes are polarity independent
meaning they can be fitted either way round, limiting
the risk of error on installation.
Quality – sophisticated design allows efficient heat
dissipation for longer life span, and voltage regulation
for ‘instant-on’ consistent brightness.
Certification – all necessary EMC, vibration, and
shock testing has been undertaken and the relevant
certificates are available on request.
Green – a clean, environmentally sound solution (fluorescent tubes contain mercury & are now
classified as hazardous waste).
Warranty – 2 year parts warranty on all interior LED lighting products, backed up by Hanover
Displays excellent customer service and support.

Hanview
Hanview has been developed to complement Hanover’s existing range of passenger
information systems and on-board computers, so that operators benefit from providing
their customers with a complete passenger information solution. From the time they are
waiting for the vehicle, during their journey and to their destination, passengers receive
up-to-date information on arrival times, route details and any other information that the
operator wants to provide.
Hanview is a web application which includes the following key features:
Vehicle Tracking – Hanview’s aerial map-based
tracking allows the operator to view the real-time
positions of all their vehicles. Each vehicle transmits a
data package at regular intervals (as required for each
specific customer application) which can include GPS
co-ordinates, door status, odometer reading as well as
route, vehicle / driver ID and other useful information.
Arrival Time Estimation – routes are surveyed prior to
commissioning Hanview. Accurate estimations for next
vehicles arrival time are calculated and transmitted to
Hanover’s static signs (i.e. vehicle stop signs), ensuring
that waiting passengers are provided with up-to-date
information.
Static (Stop) Sign Control – Hanview provides a
number of different template presentations to be
displayed on the static signs. It also provides the option
for the operator to manually type and transmit a service
/ emergency / promotional message to their static signs.

Management Reports – Hanview can
generate statistical reports based on data
the system receives from tracked vehicles.
Reports detailing time spent at stops and
time between vehicles at specific stops can
be quickly generated and used by the
operator to demonstrate service level
compliance. Reports can be exported in
Adobe pdf, Microsoft Excel or Word
formats.
Infrastructure
Typically, both the vehicles and static signs utilise GPRS modems to communicate over
a standard GSM network to a central server. Other communication mediums such as
PMR are also possible. Hanview can be installed to run on any server located anywhere
that has an internet connection (Hanover, Customer or Third Party location).
Complete Solution
Hanview can be used in conjunction with
Hanover’s wide range of “on-board”
passenger information displays, which
include exterior LED displays showing line
number and route destination for passengers
waiting at stops, as well as interior audio and
visual presentations for passengers on
board.
With Hanview these on-board
systems work simultaneously with the
vehicle reporting its real-time location from
which estimated arrival times are calculated
and sent to the static sign (at stop) displays.
Benefits for Operators
Improve operational efficiency through valuable real-time
data gathering, storage and reporting.
Improve service to your customers, providing helpful realtime information from journey start to journey end.
A complete solution from a single, market leading supplier
(Hanover has over 25 years experience in the passenger
information industry).
