ACTIONABLE INTELLIGENCE FOR TRANSPORTATION HUBS
Collect valuable insights and analytics about how passengers interact with your venue. Enable indoor positioning at your transit hub to better understand how travellers move through the space, analyze search data to determine the most popular destinations, view top category selections, device usage, and more. These insights can lead to more informed decisions at your property.
TRANSFORMING THE TRANSPORTATION HUB EXPERIENCE
Indoor mapping technology assists travellers who are trying to navigate crowded transportation hubs and helps to provide a seamless connection, regardless of whether they are travelling by bus, train, or airplane.
RAILWAY STATIONS
Reduce passenger stress for those travelling by train with indoor navigation systems. Travellers can view their precise location within the venue and see their position update through real-time location tracking. Indoor maps also allow passengers to search and filter various route schedules such as the nearest inbound service, outbound service, express service, delays to their typical route schedules and so on.
AIRPORTS
Along with providing the fastest route, indoor mapping technology can also integrate with ads, promotions, and proximity messaging to highlight retail offerings. Airports can utilize indoor positioning technology to notify passengers of a sale at a nearby retail space or simply highlight a key destination for travellers such as security check-in or baggage claim.
BUS STATIONS
Navigation technology can assist travellers who must transfer or make a bus connection. Single floor bus depots can likely take advantage of outdoor GPS signals in order to provide real-time location tracking, otherwise known as a blue dot experience. This allows travellers to see their precise location, even upon entering indoor locations.
DIGITAL DIRECTORY FOR TRANSPORTATION HUBS
3D INTERACTIVE MAPS
3D indoor maps allow users to quickly get acquainted with the venue as they pan, zoom, and rotate the interactive display. As the map moves, so do dynamic elements such as text labels. Accessibility Mode helps provide a seamless indoor navigation experience for all visitors by prioritizing routes that use ramps and elevators over those with stairs.
ENHANCED SEARCH
Customize the fields that your visitors can search for in the map management platform, including outbound service or inbound service, commuter routes, platform, boarding gate, bus connection, and more. As users type, predictive results appear, minimizing the number of keystrokes needed to find a location.
ADVERTISING & PROMOTIONS
Showcase important building or transit information front-and-centre on your Digital Directory display. Create content within the Map Editor and schedule it to appear for specific periods of time. Increase passenger spending with strategic advertising and promotions and ensure customer satisfaction with timely updates regarding last minute gate changes or delays of service during peak times.
MOBILE PASS
For passengers that want to take the digital map on-the-go, Mappedin's Mobile Pass enables this hand off through text message or QR code. Our Responsive Web App is built for mobile and provides the same 3D map and search functionality as the directory, ensuring a consistent experience as users locate their destination.
WAYFINDING FOR YOUR WEBSITE
Make it easy for visitors to navigate through bus stations, railway stations, airports, or city centre subways with an interactive indoor map. Mappedin's Responsive Web App has been optimized for mobile and desktop devices so that users can access the map regardless of their location.

INDOOR MAPPING FOR TRANSPORTATION HUBS FAQS
Transportation Hub mapping software improves overall customer experiences. Passengers can access a digital, interactive map of your venue and up-to-date directions to navigate from point A to B and ensure they don't miss their bus, train, or flight.
When creating a digital map for your transportation hub, it’s important to find a reliable indoor mapping software provider that has experience with mapping spaces of different sizes. While some people may choose to build their own map, the complexity of creating an indoor map can be daunting and incorporating various other technologies to build an integrated transportation hub can be nearly impossible.
Once you’ve decided on a provider, you will need to prepare the details to share with your vendor. For a transit venue, you will need to find the building layout and floor plans so that the provider can upload the blueprints of your space. With all the information in place, indoor mapping solutions can render the 2D maps into 3D maps. You will also need to gather location data such as gates or platforms, floor-level information, shops, eateries, and more.
Once your indoor map is rendered, you can also customize the design and features. Determine the navigation technology that is right for your bus station, train station, or airport, whether a mobile navigation app, a web solution, or Digital Directory. Add your branding colours to the map for a consistent feel across platforms.
There are several integrations that can be layered onto an indoor map. Indoor positioning technology can be used to pinpoint a user's precise location and enable other experiences such as location sharing and proximity marketing. Augmented Reality (AR) can be layered on top of the digital indoor map to provide another level of context for users and to further enhance the travel experience. Users can simply hold their device within the venue and see virtual elements that deliver relevant information.
When integrated with other technology, transit hubs can also display up-to-date and personalized information. This might include a passenger's boarding gate in an airport or an auto-populated path to commuter routes for a passenger that takes the same train every morning.
Indoor mapping solutions help guide passengers, reduce confusion and congestion within your venue, improve customer engagement, and yield valuable insights about how travellers interact with your venue which can lead to more informed business decisions.
Digital, 3D maps are created of a bus station, railway station, airport, or other transit building in order to provide helpful directions and additional context to travellers. Users can see the fastest route to their destination as well as browsing ongoing events, promotions, and even their precise, current location if the venue is equipped with indoor positioning technology.
