Regular passenger count surveys are essential for traffic planning. This activity always requires much time and cost in preparation and monitoring.

For transport companies that want to record passenger flows, we offer a flexible and affordable solution that can simplify this process enormously.

Counting passengers

• Flexible and affordable solution
• Easy to use digital readers
• Automatic, stand-alone readers – counting in vehicles and/or counting at stops
• Placement of individual readers according to individual needs
• Combination of different metrics – groups, locations…
• Digital documentation with real-time evaluation, analysis and graphics
• Time course detection
• Track multiple attributes (commuters, students, etc.)
• Sensors generate different counting results for adults, children, strollers, and bicycles … and simultaneously eliminate errors in counts of objects that are not persons.

Passenger flow management

• Determine optimal waiting times and link utilization
• Use the full capacity of the vehicles
• Estimate capacity needs for public transport in real time
• Increase client satisfaction by reducing waiting times
• Get a powerful tool for planning staff based on real needs

Increase passenger satisfaction. Reduce costs and waiting times.

Features

• Graphical analysis, evaluation of all relevant data
• Freely configurable views
• Optional configuration of all devices via the platform
• Encryption and maximum security
• Independent platform with no software installation required
• Monitoring of all required systems
• Freely definable warnings for defined events
• Notifications can be sent through different channels
• Documentation and data storage
• Integration of various partner modules and existing systems is possible

Monitor and control all your data from one independent cloud platform.

Count results are transmitted using industry-standard protocols such as ITxPT and VDV-301 and other standard IT protocols such as SOAP/XML Push Service or Local File Recording and FTP upload.

To check the accuracy of the recorded statistics, sensors can record video, process counts, and metadata into their internal memory for later evaluation. The process can be controlled using digital inputs, pre-programmed timers or communication protocols, and even AI-based start-stop detection.

Sensors are usually installed in vehicles at the entrance door. Another option can be attached to the stops – for example, to existing shelters, poles, etc. These then detect waiting passengers, record how long they stay, and transmit the data for evaluation. 

For example, timetables can be adjusted according to waiting times and passenger numbers, even automatically and dynamically.

The entire system can be managed and analyzed continuously or in batches and controlled centrally.
