How about "memory schedules" that are used in Switzerland?

Clock headways. Maintaining strict discipline in scheduling clock headways is not just a marketing tool, but also makes it easier to set up connections and to avoid conflicts at junctions. Even more valuable for light rail or BRT -- clock headways can be meshed with downtown traffic signals to give the illusion of transit priority.

Clock-face?

Takt? (OK, that's only one word)

Switzerland and Germany are masters of keeping trains on time.

Solaire Board. I believe Italy.

The brand name is actually Solari Udine, which is in (surprise!) the city of Udine in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of northeastern Italy. I've seen their panels in Boston's MBTA subway stations.
