English | EN What the hack: Decoding radio-controlled bus stop displays
Jan 28, 2014
Oona räisänen is a self-taught signals & electronics hacker from Helsinki, Finland. She is fond of mysteries, codes and ciphers, and vintage tech. She recently presented a fascinating story during the CCC-event (Chaos Computer Club) on how you can get relevant information about bus transportation through radio signals.
If you are in public transport, then sit down and watch the entire 36 minutes of this video. If you’re an innovator and believer in DIY and disruptive innovations … you should do the same.
My bottom line: anyone who can decode the radio-controlled bus information should be capable to design a better user-centric information system than our transportation companies are able or willing to provide.
