One idea behind this installation, and the idea that I think is probably one of the most useful, is to create a replacement for the screens that display train times at the train station. While I am not sure about the RFID tag idea, as it would be tricky to implement, it certainly would be a much better way to display the information than the current system.
I'm very happy with the way my little cloud weather demo turned out. It's a simple and quick way to see the weather, and one that adults and children can understand easily. It has the advantage of being useful for foreign travellers too, as it based on images rather than writing or spoken words, so it could be easily understood for someone who is just visiting and just has a travel book for translations.
The train journey map would also be useful - audio announcements at the train station are often unclear and hard to hear over the general noise of the station. Having a quick and easy referable map that can be easily understood would be advantageous.
