Abstract

See full text

A system for informing users of a bus network about waiting times for buses at stops of the network comprises means (3-6) for generating and transmitting electrical signals representative of the distance (d) between each bus (1) and the 'next' stop (2), and means (7) associated with each stop and organized to receive said signals, to select therefrom those signals that concern said stop, and to display at said stop data relating to the waiting times for the 'approaching' buses. The system also includes means for generating electrical signals representative of two past real average bus speeds relating to two different periods immediately before the instant at which the signals are generated, and means for using the average speeds in order to determine the waiting times to be displayed.
