    Large object counting: the real costs of bikes and prams

    Public Transportation Operators (PTOs) want to know more about the passengers that use their service, particularly if they are traveling with large objects such as prams, bikes or wheelchairs. This is not solely a question of appropriate fares—although important—but also about improving scheduling based on trends. PTOs can adjust vehicle types to accommodate large objects better, but only if they have reliable data to identify trends.   

     

    Challenge

    Counting large objects, such as bicycles, prams and wheelchairs, does
    not usually justify the effort of manual counts. Still, public transport
    operators want to know if:

    • The vehicle fleet is calibrated to the space demands of passengers
      and objects
    • Passengers have proper ticketing, especially in the case of bikes

    Transport operators need access to objective, real-time data about live
    bicycle occupancy to avoid space shortages that could potentially interfere with operations.


    Solution

    Automatic People Counting (APC) is already an established process, one required
    for government grants, for public transport companies, big and small. But more
    operators are looking to:

    • Monitor the performance of the vehicle fleet and capacity levels  
    • Improve ticket pricing models and community fare settlement
    • Adjust vehicle fleet to better match trends in object transport


    Benefits

    Public transport operators constantly look for reliable solutions that help increase
    efficiency, lower costs and:

    • Optimize fleet management based on reliable passenger and object counts 
    • Increase revenue by ensuring appropriate ticketing for large objects  
    • Improve operations by making decisions on reliable data
