E-APIS | A smart, energy autonomous, universal and cost-effective dynamic passenger information system

Summary
PIXEL is a Polish B2B SME, a pioneer and market leader in the development and delivery of passenger information system
in the Transport Sector. We operate in an industry that is expected to growth to $20.34 Billion by 2019 at a CAGR of 26.5%.
We develop all our innovative products with the belief and values of freedom of mobility. Due to language barriers and the
fact that only 19% of Europeans are bilingual the Public Transport needs to be innovative and leverage advances in Smart
City and Intelligent Transport System technologies to attract more citizens and foreigners to use the Public Transport and
facilitate freedom of mobility. To solve this problem we have created E-APIS, a smart, energy-autonomous, universal and
cost-effective dynamic passenger information system that removes all communication barriers and radically improves
freedom-of-movement in public transport across the EU Member States. The innovation lies in the integration of advanced
displays and mobile communications that are able to provide real-time information in any chosen language and low-power
technologies that allow 24/7 365 days of autonomous power through renewable energy sources.

Our solution provides a high economic impact to Transport Operators since it removes energy bills and installation costs and
gives them a new revenue stream. These qualities will shorten payback periods and make the investment sustainable and
profitable. We foresee that E-APIS will add over €10 Million to our annual revenue by 2023, increase our annual profits by
25% and grow direct employment by 30% by 2021 (5 year ROI 14). Phase 1 of this innovative project is to carry out an
elaborate Feasibility Study and Business Plan to get E-APIS from TRL6 to TRL9 and commercialise it.
