Flight, traffic and weather boards

Why sites want it

A hotel guest wants to know whether their flight is delayed before leaving for the airport, and an office worker wants to know the traffic before driving home. Seeing this on the screen in the lobby or by the exit is easier than checking a phone, and it adds value to the place. Guests also feel looked after.

Ready today: weather

MIA's weather widget uses MET Norway data and works for every Turkish province and for world cities, with a forecast of several days. The server fetches the data, and if the internet drops, screens show the last good value. World clock and exchange rate widgets are ready too.

What can be built on request

A flight information board can be built for your installation: departures and arrivals for a chosen airport, with flight number, time and status. In the same way, a traffic board could show congestion or estimated travel times on chosen routes. These boards could be designed like the weather widget, with the server fetching the data and passing it to the screens. The data usually comes from services that charge a fee or have terms of use, so we decide together which source to use and under what terms.

What we need to know to scope it

• Which airports or routes
• The data source you want to use, and any subscription you have
• Whether the board plays full screen or in a zone
• How many screens will show it

With this we would suggest starting with one board on one screen. Scope, timing and price are agreed for each project.
