Andorra Requests 30 Real-Time Bus Stop Screens for Sustainable Mobility

Andorra's FEDA Solucions has launched a tender for up to 30 real-time information screens at bus stops, following a 2024 pilot test of various display and power systems. The initiative, budgeted at 80,000 euros excluding taxes, targets sustainable public transport enhancements with data on bus arrivals, routes, stops, departures and delays.

The tender, coordinated with the government's Transport Department for site selection, divides into two lots: an estimated 20 electronic ink screens and 10 TFT models with night-time lighting. FEDA Solucions sources told the Andorran News Agency that quantities may decrease based on needs and equipment performance. Companies can submit bids until noon on 18 September 2026, with deliveries possible over two years.

The 2024 pilot evaluated TFT and electronic ink screens alongside power options like solar panels, long-life batteries and public lighting chargers. Systems performing well were electronic ink units and TFT screens with illumination.

All screens must connect to the myBus platform via 4G or 5G, including SIM cards and data plans, for Catalan-language updates with no more than a 10-second lag. Electronic ink models need batteries lasting at least five years under 24/7 use with 3,000 daily refreshes. TFT units will recharge from street lights and handle brief video clips.

Designed for outdoor durability, the screens must operate from -20°C to 70°C, resist water and vandalism, and feature anti-theft mounts. They will transmit daily reports, instant fault notifications and support battery changes or fixes in under 10 minutes.

FEDA Solucions personnel will oversee operations remotely via a web platform or app, monitoring battery status, errors, reboots, configurations and batch functions. A three-year warranty applies, with FEDA retaining full ownership of generated data.
