Why do we provide RTPI?


Why do we provide RTPI?

With appropriate RTPI, even a bad experience

can make a good impression on the passenger.


Why are data hubs reasonable?

A data hub gathers, stores and distributes data (time-tables and RTPI)

• One source of data

• Consistency & integrity

• Fewer interfaces than other possible architectures

• Easier maintainance

• Easier release management

• Lower costs
