Passenger Counting

Real-time access to passenger and location data.

Information about the use of a fleet of vehicles is crucial for public transport companies. The automated collection, processing, and communication of meter readings, gate events, and location data, as well as the precise determination of driving and stopping times, allows for the extraction of actionable data. This makes route and travel planning optimization simple and reliable.
Our passenger counting modules accurately record the number of boardings and alightings. This means you are always aware of who is using your buses and trains and at what times. You can incorporate this data into your business decisions; together with an intelligent fleet management system such as a BIS system, it is available in real-time with live data.

Sensors

APS-B Surface-Mounted Variant

The modern counting sensor in the body version is used to record the number of passengers boarding and alighting. It is ideal for passenger counting on buses, trains, and other public transport vehicles.

The APS-B sensor in the integrated version represents the latest generation of intelligent counting sensors. Thanks to its high-precision counting accuracy, it meets the requirements of the VDV 457-2. It uses highly automated and very reliable object recognition and 3D image processing algorithms to analyze human flow. A counting accuracy of over 99% is achieved. The APS-B sensor enhances ease of use, maximizes new remote connection options, and automates many processes that typically require manual intervention. Its slim design makes it ideal for use on buses.

As a result, labor costs for the installation, commissioning, and operation of conventional APC units can be reduced. Additional accessories may be required.
