A 0.82" QXGA (2048x1536) LCOS panel for professional projection applications is presented. To meet the high requirements, a new scalable and testable analog layout architecture is presented featuring small pixel sizes and maximum signal integrity, allowing large resolutions and high illumination levels. The QXGA-panel is designed in C35_2P4M and has 70 dies/ wafer. SID 07 DIGEST • 105 ISSN/007-0966X/07/3801-0105-$1.00 © 2007 SID
INTRODUCTIONToday more than ever, public transportation operators are aware of the importance of investing in their passengers. Moreover, meeting passengers' public transportation needs, in addition to important environmental aspects (Hua, 2016, Pålsson & Kovács, 2014, Guerra et. al, 2016) is acknowledged as a central goal in the European Commission's transport strategy roadmap. (European Commission, 2011) In this roadmap, it is shown that acting on issues important to passengers, such as reducing noise in a train or providing wireless connectivity, enriches the customer experience. At the same time, due to the current information-centric nature of society, passengers expect public transportation to be more and more augmented/personalised with information from various sources (e.g. social networks, multimodal travel information) (Sierpiński, 2017, van Lier et. al, 2014. Recent ICT developments present opportunities to meet passengers' rising expectations. As a result, the amount of available mobile travel applications offering travel information to passengers has grown exponentially (Gardner, Haeusler & Tomitsch, 2010). Contemporary mobile applications, such as the travel information apps provided by European railway companies e.g. NMBS, NS, Deutsche Bahn, National Rail and SNCF, mostly offer Real Time Train Information (RTTI) about arrival and departure times as well as mobile ticketing services. Many mobile RTTI applications are mostly context specific, single-purpose applications that provide a solution to a particular problem or requirement. However, according to ORR, the (British) Office of Rail and Road, passengers want to receive live information and they want it at their fingertips (Office of Rail Regulation, 2012). Since the initial publication of this report, where train operators are required to provide appropriate, accurate and timely information to enable (prospective) passengers to plan and make their journeys with a reasonable degree of assurance, including in times of disruption, the ORR has elaborated on this key requirement. The ORR requires from a train operating company to publish a code on practice setting out how it will ensure compliance with this directive. In 2014, further studies and surveys were conducted to see whether passengers had noticed tangible improvements. The conclusions highlighted some improvements, but also raised a number of areas where special attention was needed. As a result of this, the ORR published a new regulatory guidance, in collaboration with the industry (Rail Delivery Group, 2016) which issued 50 recommendations, in 2016 (Office of Rail and Road, 2016).According to the Danish Rail operator DSB for instance, a delay is often not experienced as being problematic, as long as passengers are assisted and know how long they will have to wait, how they could move on from the next station, whether there is still time to grab a coffee, etc. Access to RTTI positively changes passengers' perception and experience of the quality of the public transportation serv...
