The displays are equipped with an inbuilt diagnostic feature that helps operators to quickly identify and fix any source of service disruption.

Mitron's LCD display units exhibit bright colours and offer better visibility at large viewing angles, which can be used in different applications such as route and timetable announcements, guiding passengers at stations and platforms and indicating less crowded rail cars to customers entering the trains.

Some of the Deutsche Bahn displays will also be touch-screen enabled to provide users with faster access to the necessary information.
