Display Road Conditions for Digital Signage

It’s important for organizations to keep their employees and clients safe and informed. Digital signage software is used by schools, hospitals, and corporations to display announcements, alerts, weather, and even current road conditions. Users can easily bring live road conditions and livestreams to their digital signage by using DOT (department of transportation) public transportation websites.

Livestreaming Road Conditions on Digital Signage

The United States DOT is responsible for maintaining road cameras on major roads all across the country. The live feeds from these cameras are made available publicly, so citizens can view current road conditions and be aware of any accidents or delays. Since these livestreams are publicly available, digital signage users display constant livestreams of roads on their signage by using the m3u8 URLs with no additional cost. Learn more about livestreaming road conditions on your digital signage.

Displaying Multiple Roads at Once

Users can display multiple road livestreams on a single page as well. The remote account access allows for updates from anywhere through the Arreya Creative Studio. Multiple streams of traffic are added on a single page, and resized as necessary. As a result, displaying conditions of multiple major roads on digital signage is versatile and easy. Also, it gives users the freedom to change live feeds to any road cameras the DOT makes available. All they have to do is swap the m3u8 URL in their livestreaming widget.

Traffic Content Feeds for Digital Signage

If you’re looking for a way to display road conditions, but you want something more pre-built and professionally designed, content feeds are a great option. Traffic conditions from content feed providers like Screenfeed and DataCall are excellent for digital signage users, because they display valuable information without any effort from the end user. Content feed providers do the heavy lifting by keeping their feeds up to date, and also by providing professional content design.

City Maps and Current Weather Conditions

In cold-weather states, road conditions can deteriorate quickly, particularly in winter months. Displaying DOT city maps on digital signage is an excellent way to give your viewers a quick overview of road conditions as they change. The DOT will continue to update these conditions on their respective websites. Updates will be displayed on digital signage instantly without any manual input. Maps will look similar to the image to the left.

Live Road Surface Temperatures and Data

Road temperatures are often a determining factor for dangerous conditions. When the road surfaces get cold enough, even a small amount of rain or blowing snow can make travel dangerous. DOT websites provide users with live road surface temperatures and other data to help them make informed decisions about traveling. Road surface temperatures are displayed on digital signage to give viewers live updates.

Helping Everyone Travel Safely

Whether you’re using digital signage for your business, school, or non-profit organization, displaying road conditions and live data is a great way to help everyone travel safely. Set up is easy, and updates are pulled in automatically. Digital signage widgets like the website and streaming widgets make it possible to pull in critical data just by copying and pasting a link. If you’re looking to get started with your own digital signage, contact our digital signage experts.
