Abstract

The disclosed subject matter provides a computing system configured to present a map-centric interface to a user, the map-centric interface usable by the user to control selected ones of a plurality of digital signs. The computing system is further configured to receive via a network interface travel data indicative of availability of travel resources, data corresponding to emergency events, and instructions from a third-party entity regarding the emergency events. The computing system is further configured to connect to a particular digital sign of the selected ones and display information corresponding to the received travel data associated with a geographic region in which the digital sign is located. In addition, the computing system is configured to display on one or more of the plurality of digital signs emergency event messages based on the data corresponding to emergency events.

Dependent claims

A computing system, comprising:

at least one processor;
a memory;
and
a network interface configured to couple to a wide-area network;
wherein the computing system is configured to present a map-centric interface to a user, the map-centric interface usable by the user to control selected ones of a plurality of digital signs;
wherein based on an identity of the user, the selected ones are displayed on the map-centric interface and non-selected ones of the plurality of digital signs which the user is restricted from controlling are not displayed on the map-centric interface;
wherein the computing system is further configured to receive, from the wide-area network via the network interface, travel data indicative of availability of travel resources, data corresponding to emergency events, and instructions from a third-party entity regarding the emergency events;
wherein the computing system is further configured to connect to a particular digital sign of the selected ones and display information corresponding to the received travel data associated with a geographic region in which the digital sign is located;
and wherein the computing system is further configured to display, on one or more of the plurality of digital signs, emergency event messages based on the data corresponding to emergency events.
