    Reliable data are crucial for ensuring services offered by Public Transportation Operators (PTOs) match passenger demographics. Using data to contour fleets to actual public use is a goal of most cost-conscious PTOs, particularly those that want to understand better how and when passengers utilize public transportation services. Passenger counting can provide PTOs with the data necessary to make better services and fleet deployment choices.   

     

    Challenge

    Higher fuel prices and a push for more sustainable cities have increased pressure on public transport operators to provide robust but well-contoured services to a more tech-savvy clientele. Basing strategic decision-making about fleet size and scheduling, routes, and customer trends on real-time footfall data and related KPIs can:

    • Optimize operational efficiency
    • Minimize operational costs
    • Maximize passenger satisfaction


    Solution

    Automatic Passenger Counting (APC) systems count how many passengers enter or leave a vehicle, determine occupancy rates and, for trains, movement between classes in real time. A cornerstone of mobility solutions within smart cities, such systems help with:

    • Monitoring the performance of transportation routes  
    • Adjusting vehicle deployment to match passenger demand
    • Improving ticket pricing models and community fare settlement


    Benefits

    Such solutions, easily integrated within the existing operating systems used by transport operators, are essential for:

    • Better understanding of passenger demographics 
    • Adjusting fleet and vehicle deployment  
    • Reducing operating costs by optimizing fleet size and staffing needs
    • Facilitating interoperability between various systems
