Named TMF SMART@Ubud, the project encompasses two core components:
- Dynamic Bus Schedule Displays: Real-time bus arrival visualisation enhances the travel experience, fosters connectivity with Smart xEV and boosts public transport usage.
- Smart xEV Park and Ride: This solution involves the deployment of an app-powered fixed route shuttle service to ease congestion and promote decarbonization.
Powered by solar panels, Papercast’s 23″ outdoor e-paper displays will be strategically installed at bus stops to show real-time bus arrival information, route details, marketing content and other essential updates, in both Indonesian and English to support the local community and the large number of tourists that visit the region.
Papercast’s displays, renowned for exceptional energy efficiency and resilience under extreme weather conditions, provide an ideal outdoor solution. With successful deployments in over 45 countries, the technology is particularly well suited to public transit environments in hot and humid locations such as Bali.
The project’s launch event on 24th August welcomed 150 distinguished attendees, including senior stakeholders from the region’s transportation authorities. The event will provide an opportunity for industry leaders, stakeholders and the public to witness the transformational impact of Papercast’s technology on the future of transportation.
Cameron Maconie, Head of Business Development at Papercast: “Partnering with Toyota Mobility Foundation underscores our commitment to collaborating with market leaders to reshape sustainable mobility with pioneering technologies. We look forward to continuing our work together to build further capacity and a greater sustainable impact”.
Pras Ganesh, Executive Program Director from the Toyota Mobility Foundation: “We are excited to collaborate with Papercast to bring innovative and sustainable transportation solutions to Bali. Papercast’s advanced real-time information displays empowers commuters and contributes to a greener, more efficient transportation ecosystem.”
