Show clear, current visitor information at the lower cable car station

Plan the display around arriving visitors. This guide combines directions, operating times and relevant images with a clear process for checking the information.

1. Collect questions visitors ask before boarding

Follow the route from the station entrance to ticket sales and boarding. Which questions arise? Choose a few priorities: tickets, boarding, the next departure and the last return trip. Check the screen from the queue. The main information must be understandable without sound to someone who only glances at it.

2. Make operating times unambiguous

Include the date and route where needed. Show “Last trip up” and “Last trip down” separately. If there are several lifts, make clear which one the times apply to. Use only details confirmed by the operator. At a change of season, check that the displayed timetable is still valid.

3. Coordinate changes with the operations team

Decide who confirms interruptions, service resumptions or changes to available activities, and who updates the display. Remove promotional messages that conflict with an unavailable service. This example uses SUISSE-VIDEO for prepared content; it does not assume an automatic connection to operational control systems. The display does not replace official operating or safety notices.

Example: an information plan for a fictional lower station

Situation	Useful content	What to check before display
Arrival	Ticket sales and directions to boarding	Are directions and station names correct?
During the day	Confirmed operating times and available activities	Do the details apply to this lift today?
Before closing	Show the last trip up and last trip down separately	Has the operations team confirmed both times?
After closing	Service has ended; confirmed next opening	Is there a special timetable or a change?

Fictional planning example without a specific lift or timetable. It is not a current service notice or a customer case study.

4. Plan the day and check the content

Schedule directions in the morning, relevant information during the day and reminders about final departures before closing. Check the project schedule and the actual change on the playback device. Do not copy the schedule to days with different operating times without checking. After closing, show an accurate notice rather than encouraging visitors to take a trip immediately.

5. Check images, languages and freshness

Label a landscape video as recorded footage if it could be mistaken for a current view. For images described as current, check their source and capture time. Prepare short language versions for your visitors and compare the times and station names carefully. Assign someone to check content and arrange cover for their absence.
