The Observit People Counter defines a new level of precision in electronic people counting, with a counting accuracy close to 100% – even under difficult conditions.
The Observit CPC detects without fail the number of passengers entering and exiting a public transit vehicle, as well as the number of persons currently present within a defined area. The device is primarily designed for buses and trams and trains but may be used in a wide range of applications.
The Observit CPC is an effective system that makes it easy to install, monitor and manage in the enterprise fleets, with a large number of units and vehicles, all manged remotely. The system continuously performs checks of system, components, units and functions.
Observits focus is to develop and create reliable, available and serviceable products for the mobile fleet.
REAL TIME COUNTING INFORMATION
Detailed and accumulated
Observit CPC collect data from all counters in a bus and delivers real time accumulated passenger counting information. Boardings and departures are divided into different categories as well as the actual occupancy at each stop.
The information can be used, among other things, for monitoring real time travelling and also for congestion information to Travelers.
The information supplied follows ITxPT and includes journey information and also:
Vehicle ID
Door id
Bus stop id
Number of boarding passes per category
Number of departures per category
Time
Occupancy on board
GPS
HOW IT WORKS
HIGH TECHNOLOGY AND THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE ACCURACY
The CPC is using high technology to analyze and perform people counting in a pre-defined area. To get highest possible accuracy in the counting, the counting is made by sensors coupled in stereo creating a 3D view which makes it possible to measure objects in a very efficient way. The accuracy of each vehicle is shown in Observit Enterprise Center.
The data and result that are analyzed in the unit, the number of passengers, are stored in the unit and could be pushed to a predefined customer server or via MQTT/ITxPT at every stop of the bus making real time figures available for stakeholders.
