Transport and onboard
Public transport information, ready for every journey
Bring live data, passenger messaging and display design into one practical workspace—then publish clear information wherever people need it.
- Connect GTFS, GTFS-Realtime and GBFS data sources
- Build landscape or portrait boards with reusable templates
- Show arrivals, service updates, route details and ride-share availability
- Run GPS-aware onboard displays with off-route fallback content
- Manage targeted campaigns and passenger audio announcements
Build once, publish everywhere
Design information boards with arrivals, route details, weather, time, media and service notices—then reuse the layout across the screens that need it.
Operate with confidence
Manage providers, test connections, import timetable data and keep real-time information visible without hopping between separate tools.
Support every journey
Assign displays to vehicles, follow route progress with GPS and give passengers a clear fallback message if a journey goes off route.
Make each message count
Run campaigns when their route, time and location rules match, then pair them with clear spoken passenger announcements.
More transport tools
Built for the details that make a journey work
From preparing a route before it goes live to communicating clearly while it is moving, Iris gives transport teams one connected set of tools.
Journey simulator
Test the journey before passengers see it
Use the development GPS simulator to move through a route, stops and playlist without changing a live vehicle. It is a practical way to check the information experience before deployment.
- Test route progress and stops
- Preview direction and destination behaviour
- Check playlist and fallback content safely
Audio announcements
Give important information a clear voice
Create shared announcement phrases and choose a voice for every onboard display. Iris can use stop names in announcements and lets teams review route-specific pronunciations.
- Shared announcement settings across the fleet
- Custom stop-name pronunciations
- Prepare missing announcements while players are online
Route maps
Make the journey easy to follow
Use connected route geometry and stop data to give passengers meaningful context. Iris supports route maps, clear start-and-finish markers and an ordered view of upcoming stops.
- Route shape and stop sequence
- Start, stop and finish markers
- Current journey and direction context
Geo advertising
Deliver campaigns when they are relevant
Run onboard campaigns only in safe content windows and target them by date, day, time, route, destination stop or geofence. Playback records keep delivery activity visible to the team.
- Route, stop and location targeting
- Scheduled campaign windows
- Playback, completion and interruption records
Automatic onboard volume
Keep announcements clear as the journey changes
Connect a PCB Artists decibel sensor through an ESP32 by USB. Iris monitors the surrounding sound level and smoothly adjusts announcements and player audio between the minimum and maximum volume levels you set.
- Ambient sampling pauses while Iris audio is playing, so an announcement cannot increase its own volume
- The browser remembers the authorised ESP32 and reconnects after a player restart, sleep or USB reconnection when permission remains available
- If the sensor or USB connection fails, Iris returns to your fallback volume, retries automatically and resumes adjustment when readings recover
- Sound-level readings stay on the player computer; Iris does not record microphone audio or upload it
- Designed for desktop players on Windows, Linux and macOS using Chrome, Edge or Firefox 151 and later
Onboard passenger information
Keep passengers informed throughout the journey
Assign an Iris player to a vehicle and connect it to route data. The display can follow the active journey, direction and stops using device GPS.
- Automatic or manually selected trips
- Route maps, stop progress and destination details
- Configurable GPS reporting and route-matching diagnostics
- Off-route fallback media or service information
Campaigns and audio
Make every journey more useful
Deliver onboard campaigns only when their schedule and targeting rules match, while shared AI-generated audio helps passengers hear the right stop information.
- Campaign targeting by route, destination stop, time and geofence
- Playback, completion and interruption records
- Shared announcement phrases and route pronunciations
- Amazon Polly voice selection and offline preparation
