Object Detection: The Real Costs of Bikes and Prams
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
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
