Where is the best place to install LED screens in subways? The secret of the 200% increase in passenger flow in the three prime seats

2026-01-04 160


Is it too wasteful to leave the platform overhead? try this trick

​"Why are advertising screens always ignored in subway stations where millions of people visit every day? "​ ​ This matter has to start with the installation location. A transfer station in Hangzhou​ ​P4 pitch LED screen​ ​Installed on the ceiling of the platform waiting area, actual measurement found:

Where is the best place to install LED screens in subways? The secret of the 200% increase in passenger flow in the three prime seats
  • ​visual contact rate​ ​: Passengers’ head-up visibility rate soared from 12% to 89%
  • ​ad conversion rate​ ​: The interaction volume of scanning QR codes is 17 times higher than that of wall sticker ads
  • ​space utilization​ ​: Advertising revenue per square meter is 3.2 times that of traditional light boxes

The secret is​ ​8-10 meters hanging height​​+​​30° tilt angle design​ ​, which does not affect traffic and ensures clear reading from 15 meters away. Remember, never install it directly above the security check machine - passengers are too busy taking out their bags to even look at it!


Choosing the wrong parameters means spending money in vain

​"Why are some subway screens so reflective during the day? "​ ​ Most likely the brightness is not adjusted correctly:

  1. ​Underground station hall​ ​: 800-1200cd/m² (with automatic photosensitivity adjustment)
  2. ​ground platform​ ​:2500-4000cd/m² (anti-direct sunlight)
  3. ​inside the train​ ​:500-800cd/m² (prevent passenger dizziness)

A subway in a coastal city encountered a problem - ordinary outdoor screens were installed in underground passages. As a result, the humidity in the rainy season caused 73 modules to short-circuit. Now all smart people choose​ ​IP54 moisture resistance level​​+​​Fanless cooling structure​ ​, the five-year failure rate can be reduced to less than 0.8%.

Important reminder:​ ​Train moving screen​ ​must pass​ ​Vibration test (5-200Hz)​ ​, otherwise it will have to be repaired in three months. If the wrong model is used on a certain line in Guangzhou, half a year's maintenance cost can buy a BMW 5 Series!


Quick tips to save money on operation and maintenance

​"What should I do if the advertising fee is still deducted due to a power outage in the middle of the night? "​ ​ These configurations cannot be omitted:

  • ​Dual power supply​ ​: Automatic switching of main and backup power supplies <0.3 seconds
  • ​Remote power control​ ​: Adjust brightness by time period to save 30% power
  • ​Module quick release​ ​: Single module replacement <10 minutes

Some subway companies have gone even further - connecting the screen management system to the smart center, it can automatically switch emergency instructions when encountering sudden large passenger flows. After playing this way, the equipment utilization rate was directly increased from 61% to 94%, and the operation and maintenance team was able to cut off half of the team!


Recently, a new trend has emerged in the industry: turning screen doors into​ ​Transparent interactive screen​ ​, you can check the route and read the news while waiting for the bus. Let me tell you, if this thing is installed well, it will feel technological, but if it is not installed well, it will cause light pollution. The key is to find a team that understands the rail transit scenario, and considers the passenger movement lines and operation and maintenance channels from the scheme design, and don't make those fancy pseudo-requirements!
