Minori Hatsune, Oned-935

Presentation of the prototype PIMUS (new word = stop + shelters + technology). Ready

We will introduce a new word in the linguistic universe busurbano, first of all, we will take a few lines and quite important from now on:
... coming to be the initials or acronym ...

Roughly: "Super stop with a lot of information to the user" as announced last year in this blog. But go with the serious and truthful information ... and later we will be updating the content with images.

Yoya Neira and José María Barja highlight the partnership between the City and the University to carry out technology projects focused on public service .

Councillor mobility Yoya Neira, and the rector of the Universidade da Coruña, José María Barja, presented on Thursday March 24, 2011 the four prototypes of intelligent information about sustainable urban mobility (PIMUS) made by the UDC with the CITIC through a design competition sponsored by the City. In the picture, Victor Carneiro, who coordinated projects.

This project has been developed by researchers from the UDC is managed and developed by CITIC, ICT Research Center manages research projects in which computer science researchers working in the Computer Science faculty of UDC, and PIMUS project are several groups who have spoken.

Councilwoman Mobility Yoya Neira, explained that the first four poles work from next week and that after a survey of citizens to evaluate their performance to be held in a month, the City Council will decide if it increases its number and leads to other stops.

The locations selected are ...
  • Puerta Real [stop 001]
  • Calle de la Torre 63 [stop 175] (**)
  • Bus Station and Cuatro Caminos

The councilor said that "the PIMUS contain all information necessary for users to plan their bus time and movements, such as waiting time or accessibility vehicle, and add other features like the street , which allows you to locate hospitals, pharmacies and other services, tourist information or the possibility of placing videos of public utility ". The PIMUS have a touch screen navigation very simple and are made in a durable and resistant material.

For its part, the president stressed welcomes the participation of the University in a project like this, directly to the citizens . "Sometimes it seems that university research is remote and difficult to explain, well, used to launch initiatives of great benefit to citizens as this "said Barja.

The four models have been developed by the UDC groups Laboratory Database, Models and Applications of Distributed Systems, Electronics and Communications Technology, Telematics and Advanced Visualization in Civil Engineering, Architecture and Urbanism under coordination of Dr. Victor Manuel Diaz Carneiro. The project was worth 197,000 euros.

The main objective of these points of information is to facilitate the use of transport public in the city and provide the passenger information for travel by A Coruña.

To this end four prototypes have been developed and will explore its use and effectiveness over the next 12 months.


These four prototypes have been called

as follows:
  1. FullPIMUS :
    Designed to be installed independently at any bus stop and access both sides. Presents the full functionality of these items of information.

  2. HalfPIMUS :
    is located attached to walls or walls .

  3. GreenPIMUS : Point of information
    low designed to be integrated inside a marquee . Equipped with batteries allow it to function without electricity for 16 hours, batteries are recharged by connecting streetlights. In the case of having a installing solar panels on the marquee, could be completely autonomous.

  4. SmallPIMUS :
    To be located in hotspots travelers, such as bus stations, train etc.

As PIMUS functionality ...:

* Traveller's Information (available at ...
FullPIMUS - Half
PIMUS - Green PIMUS - SmallPIMUS )

> A LED panels on top front indicate the arrival times of buses a particular stop, indicating also if these buses are accessible or not. Also indicates the time and outdoor temperature .

> This system is completed acoustic information for people with visual impairments use the System CiberP of ONCE. The electronic system has been modified by the Centre for Research in Information Technology and Communications [ CITIC ] to through a command, select a phrase in PIMUS with the information in LEDs.

* Route Planner (available at ...
FullPIMUS - Half PIMUS - GreenPIMUS - Small PIMUS )

> With an innovative touch screen displays the street traveler of A Coruña and can calculate the route to get anywhere in the city on foot or by bus.

> also allows locating streets, bus lines , attractions, pharmacies, hospitals, taxi ranks, bus stops bicicoruña, Electrolinera , etc ...

> This route planner is also available for any smartphone Touch via WiFi access point that provides information post.

> This additional screen on the back informative post shows the arrival times of buses , time and temperature as well as a video programming about urban mobility and institutional campaigns that travelers displayed during timeouts.

> Also in all these campaigns can post be accompanied by bluetooth devices that deliver pictures and files by acceptance of travelers with the service activated when they are close to PIMUS.

This project important innovations in this type of information points, namely ...:

• Touchscreen capacitive membranes based on lengthening the life of service, allowing the use of glass security ahead of it.

• Use of a copolymer of polymethylmethacrylate and aluminum trihydrate (Corian ) to build what brings you: resistance fire (DIN 4102-1 ), hygiene ( DIN EN ISO 846 ) reparable, nontoxic, and the GREEN GUARD Air Quality Certified. It also presents a unique feature resistance to bending, breaking, compression, impact, submersion, heat, translucency, etc.

• Changing electronics System CiberP of ONCE to adapt the project : This system uses only analog signals for activation of phrases in traffic lights. Has been modified to invoke digital signals through USB. The

• Adaptation of the system openTryp planner for the calculation and signaling pathways. ________________________


Anyway, this already looks like what we requested from the blog busurbano to Kings for years, and if we truly seemed ideal and stop the Intelligent Terminal to distill usually praise, we might be missing descriptions for these new handsets will see from next week at stops above and resulted in this information each post they publish.

Regarding accessibility, we can all agree that ...
