Passenger/On-Board Information Systems

Want to know more about our OBIS solution?

creating the intelligent journey

Nomad has years of experience developing On-Board/Passenger Information Systems (OBIS/PIS) in the rail industry, covering platform and on-train screens, delivering journey information and announcements.

More recently, our OBIS/PIS solutions have been extended to provide distributed infotainment and commercial content controlled using scheduled programming technology.

Our next generation OBIS/PIS was built to offer services such as the next station and connection information, timetables, live news, on-board entertainment, moving maps, and voice-to-text / text to-voice announcements.

We combine passenger information and infotainment on a single platform – allowing you to deliver both types of content in accordance with your infrastructure, the nature of your market and the specific journey types. OBIS will help deliver your passenger experience strategy.

Nomad also supports all North American Disability Discrimination Act requirements including hearing loop integration.

Eurostar, helping passengers track their journey and plan destinations

In 2012, Eurostar announced a £700 million investment in its fleet, with the purchase of state-of-the-art new e320 trains and the complete upgrade of a number of its existing sets. The investment would add new digital capabilities, including electric sockets, Wi-Fi and an on-board entertainment system to offer customers an ever better experience. As part of the project, it asked its customers what would most improve their travel experience.

NS, the biggest ever link up

NS runs 5,000 trains a day serving around a billion passengers a year on one of the densest rail networks in Europe.

Across the Netherlands’ 4,700 km of track, 400 stations, trains can travel in both directions on the same line every few minutes, and with many more stops compared to most intercity rail routes; with average journey times from 11 to 37 minutes.
