Automatic Passenger Counting (APC) in Public Transport

Automatic Passenger Counting (APC) is used to measure how many, where, and when passengers board or alight from public transportation vehicles. Xovis' APC sensors measure passenger counts in real-time and in observance of data privacy rules on all types of public passenger vehicles.

Better data for better planning

Precisely counting the number of passengers entering and exiting public transportation vehicles is a proven method for improving operational efficiency. The high accuracy of Xovis' APC sensors means operators don't have to second guess the data, improving decison-making and alignment with internal and external stakeholders.

3D Sensors for People Flow Management

Infrastructure associated with public transportation, such as stations, stops and other workplaces, are a rich source of objective data that operators and concessionaires can use to improve performance. Understanding people flow in these areas can help real estate owners, facility managers, and retailers improve resource planning—including staff schedules—and better manage costs. Responsibly capture valuble data about visitor flows across large areas with Xovis' powerful multisensor framework.
