Using CompactRIO and LabVIEW to Develop Zero-Energy Bus Stop Information Centers Print

"Using NI hardware and software, we created the world’s first working prototype of a zero-energy bus node."

– K.Z. Tang, National University of Singapore

The Challenge:
Improving our urban infrastructure by designing bus stop information centers that are self-sustainable in energy consumption and user friendly for all commuters, including those with special needs.

The Solution:
Using NI CompactRIO hardware and LabVIEW software to create a bus stop interface with a zero-energy goal (100 percent self-sustainable electricity consumption) that provides intuitive, updated traffic information to passengers and drivers and can serve as a platform for energy grid control.
