The Airtrain Hotel Display is a train timetabling application based on the
Airtrain Plasma Display. This software
is used to display train departure information to the Brisbane Airport and
has been designed for use in places of accommodation near train stations.
When the application is started, the user selects a train station between
the Gold Coast and Brisbane Airport. The train departures for the selected
station are then displayed. After the application starts, there is no
further interaction required by the user.

Countdowns to Departures
|
|
In order to be clear to any traveller, the hotel display software will
rotate through various screens of information. The first is the
countdown in minutes, to the next departing train from the selected
station.
The screen also shows when the train will arrive at the airport
which is important for most travellers to the airport.

|
|
Upcoming Departures
|
|
The upcoming trains screen shows the time to the next 3 departing trains.
This screen shows the time in minutes to the departure and the approximate
arrival time at the airport for each service. Therefore if the traveller
can not make the first departing train, they are aware of upcoming trains.

Hotel Personalisation
|
|
Another screen in the rotation is a "message" screen which can be
used to personalise the display to the hotel or place of
accommodation where the display is located. A message screen consists
of a title and message body, and the application takes care of
picking an appropriate font size based on the length of the message.
Each message can have a start and end, date and time and multiple
messages can be queued up using the Hotel Configurator.

scheme or length of time each screen is to be displayed.

- Enter public holidays to adopt alternate train schedules
