How Automatic Passenger Counters (APC) can improve Public Transport

Whether you manage a transportation service on a local or national scale, having remote and real-time access to information related to passenger flows can improve operations and route optimization.

Installing high-accuracy Automatic Passenger Counters on trains and buses leads to:

FLEET OPTIMIZATION BASED ON PASSENGER FLOWS

ENHANCED PLANNING OF DAILY OPERATIONS

IMPROVED CUSTOMER SERVICE

LAYOVER TIME REDUCTION AND INCREASED PUNCTUALITY

Building an end-to-end Passenger Counting System with Everyware IoT

Eurotech offers an open, integrated and managed IoT architecture - Everyware IoT - that provides on-board intelligent devices and software and off-board tools to setup a cloud-based Automatic Passenger Counting (APC) system.

DynaPCN: High-accuracy Automatic Passenger Counters

With easy installation on the doors of trains and buses, the DynaPCN 10-20 and the the PCN-1001 provide intelligent sensors specifically designed for the accurate and automatic counting of passengers entering or leaving public transport vehicles such as trains, metros or buses. They are already compliant with the requirements of on-board electronic installations, such as EN50155 and EN50121 certifications.

Eurotech's range of high-accuracy automatic passenger counters benefit from:

  • Non-contact stereoscopic vision technology
  • Reliable built-in infrared illumination system
  • Certifications for Transportation and Railway applications
  • Daisy-chaining system for multiple door monitoring
  • Serial, Ethernet or PoE interfaces

IoT Edge Gateways: connecting passenger counters with IoT

Eurotech devlops IoT Edge Gateways for the public and commercial Transportation market: a wide range of Rolling Stock (EN50155, EN45545) and Automotive-certified (E-Mark, SAE/J1455) subsystems designed to exceed the requirements of mobile IT infrastructures and to provide reliable performance in the harshest environments. Combined with software and Cloud IoT platforms, they enable the connection between field devices and passenger counters and the enterprise IT infrastructure and information system to build an end-to-end, IoT-based Automatic Passenger Counting System.

An IoT Edge Framework for passenger counting app development

Everyware Software Framework (ESF) provides a visual data flow development environment to build a reliable and IoT ready passenger counting app. ESF Wires graph has a modular approach that frees the developer from the need of writing the application code from scratch.

Thanks to ESF's IoT features, passenger counters can collect, aggregate, filter, analyze and route data and send them to leading IoT cloud services for further management and analytics. A user-friendly web interface allows the display of data flows on passenger ins and outs.

Remote device management and passenger counting data integration with IT applications

Data collected by on-board passenger counters can be remotely managed and integrated with enterprise data centers for analytics or other business applications with Eurotech's IoT Integration Platform Everyware Cloud (EC).

By remotely connecting to field-deployed devices and passenger counters, operators and managers can monitor passenger flows everywhere and gain valuable insights to improve operational efficiency and take strategic business decisions.

Everyware IoT Edge-to-Cloud Platform is the ideal architecture to boost operational efficiency and reduce fleet management costs, while improving customer service.
