The challenge

The problem to solve

Edelaraudtee AS, operator of the Tallinn–Türi–Viljandi and Lelle–Pärnu passenger lines, ran public procurement 278143 in 2024 for a unified real-time passenger information display network covering 28 stations — from major junctions to small rural halts. The requirement: one technical solution across the whole network, purchased under public procurement rules, operating year-round in Estonian outdoor conditions, integrated with Elron's live passenger information system, and backed by a long-term maintenance agreement.

The solution

What Ampron delivered

Ampron delivered as GoTrack OÜ's subcontractor — GoTrack won the tender as main contractor. Two outdoor LCD models cover all 28 stations: 19 units of the YT-S49F dual-sided 49" (4K, 2,500 cd/m², −40°C to +55°C) and 7 units of the YT-S55T outdoor vertical 55" totem. All displays run AmpronLED — Ampron's proprietary display communication protocol — which receives Elron's passenger information feed and renders live schedules, platform assignments and service updates consistently across the entire fleet. Following installation, Ampron and Edelaraudtee signed a direct technical support agreement covering the full fleet with defined response times, on-site maintenance and a spare parts inventory.

Business case

A 28-station rail network with manual or paper-based passenger information requires staff presence at every halt to update boards. AmpronLED eliminates that dependency — Elron's central feed updates all 26 screens simultaneously. At rural halts with minimal staffing, live information that runs without staff intervention is the difference between a functional station and an unmanned platform with stale paper timetables.
