Transit trends The good news and the bad

How APC Systems Can Help

• Data-driven Route/Capacity Optimization - timetables and routes

• Dynamic fare pricing

• Revenue Assurance

• Integration with Passenger Information Systems

– improves rider experience increases ridership

• Deliver Key Performance Metrics:

– passengers per mile, cost per passenger, number of passengers

per driver, etc.

• Data for regulatory compliance, program grants, etc.

Factors to Consider for

Effective APC systems

• Accuracy

– Count quality under all

conditions

• Reliability

– Sensor/camera system uptime

– Reliability of E2E solution

• Integration with Operational

Systems and AVL

– for route optimization

• Ease of Maintenance

– Device management

• Data management

Eurotech’s DynaPCN sensor

High Accuracy:

• >98% accuracy in field

• Operates in poorly lit conditions or

bad weather

• Configurable and programmable Stereoscopic

Cameras

Field Proven Reliability and Long

Deployment Life

Rugged design:

• IP65 environmental rating

• Extended temperature

• Low power

Non-invasive / confidential data

collection

How It Works

• Stereo vision for height map – i.e. it detects shoulders and heads

• Height maps look like “blobs” – no identity detection

• Image analysis enhances the scene and tracks/counts the blobs

across virtual boundaries
