To ensure they get off at the correct stop on the route. The initial contract terms are 7 years with 3 years extension. The AVA system we are seeking to procure should include the following level functionality: * Visual content to be provided in the form of route line plans, text, and video content. * Passenger audio and visual content to be provided automatically as the vehicle travels along a specified route. * Audio and visual passenger information to be provided when the bus approaches, arrives or leaves specified locations along the route. * Additional information between stops such as advertising or service information. * Integration with the exterior facing destination blinds for route display selection, additional passenger information and remote updating of the destination content. * The remote updating of the destination, audio and visual passenger information content to be completed either whilst the bus is in service or housed within a depot. * A single web-based and multi-client back-office platform to provide remote management and updating of media content.
