Description:

The Customer Information System 'Kiosk' was developed to help the Roads and Traffic Authority deal with the 18 million inquires received each year. This system is used in Motor Registry Offices, Shopping Centres etc. Customers access the information without tying up Roads and Traffic Authority staff.

A feature of the system is the extensive use of broadcast quality video from a 12" laser video disk.

The system draws information from an array of RTA printed materials and well-known television commercials.
The system covers:

• Licensing
• Safety and Accidents
• Baby Capsule Rental
• Travel Time Information
• RTA Capital Projects

Information is accessed in several different ways; via hierarchical menus, from an organisation diagram and from an alphabetical index. The system is both touch-screen and key-board operated. The key-board version also allows key-board entry of inquires eg 'taxis', 'baby' etc. Usage of the system is fully recorded.
