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.

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. Interior view Hanover Displays Ltd, Southerham House, Southerham Lane, Lewes, East Sussex, BN8 6JN.

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. Hanover Displays Ltd, Southerham House, Southerham Lane, Lewes, East Sussex, BN8 6JN.

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.

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. Hanover Displays Ltd, Southerham House, Southerham Lane, Lewes, East Sussex, BN8 6JN. Tel: +44 (0) 1273 477528 Fax: +44 (0) 1273 407766 0020/54/0653/B HANOVER DISPLAYS LIMITED 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).
