Description:
A train information display system IDS is a board displaying in real-time the different arrivals or departures occurring over a specific period of time. IDS is commonly used to assist passengers during train travel and people who want to pick-up passengers after the train. Due to be replaced in mid-2008 with a new-style LED sign this is one of the venerable train information boards at Boston’s South Station. Also called a railway flap sign, these saw many years of service and the sound of the “flapping” caused everyone to look at the board to check their train’s status. Source RGppThese signs were built by Solari di Udine of Italy. Founded in 1948 in Udine Italy by the Solari family, Solari di Udine rapidly earned a reputation for technological excellence in industrial clocks and, later, in information display systems IDS. Solari's innovative flap technology for the direct reading of time and information was Patented in 1950. In the following year, Solari manufactured the first clock using flap technology. In 1956, Solari designed, manufactured and installed the world's first train information display system at Liege Railway Station, in Belgium. A similar installation at Vienna Airport, three years later, constituted the world's first passenger flight information system. In the following years, Solari installed thousands of systems all over the world. source Solari di Udine web site
