DMG's latest version of PIDS 3.0 will be used in Beijing Metro Line 4,
covering platforms, trains, ticket halls, entrances, interchange passages and

updated information such as train directions, routes, emergency information
and integrated services to passengers through more than 2,000 high-definition
display panels.
PIDS 3.0 has two-way broadcasting capabilities with real-time broadcast
signals sent to trains and real-time monitoring of train compartment images
sending back. PIDS 3.0 is also linked with fire alarm systems, automatic
dispatch systems, train monitoring systems, operation control centers and
command centers. It can broadcast emergency announcements and evacuation
information to passengers in the trains, platforms, station halls and
entrances during events. Through the system, operators at the command centers
can send unique messages to each and every display panel at different
stations, trains or compartments. PIDS 3.0 is the most reliable and a truly
user friendly system for the subway authorities.
Beijing Metro Line 4 is the first metro line in China to adopt PPP
(Public Private Partnership), in cooperation with Hong Kong MTR Corporation
to build and operate a public transportation system. Beijing Metro Line 4 is
