Need to count passengers, but are limited by the space available onboard for a system hookup? We’re excited to add a new technology to our product offering for counting passengers on trains, buses and other mass transit areas. Boasting a new slim design and accurate directional counting, the PC-2D2M counter is powered by and transmits directional data by a single cable. This simple set-up and discrete enclosure makes installation more efficient than comparable systems with reflectors to align or batteries to replace. What’s more, this counter can be installed either at the side or over the entryway, offering even further convenience.
Multiple options are available to collect passenger count data based on resources and level of detail needed. To receive hourly and time-stamped data, the data collection kit is installed on-board the transportation unit. For once-daily summed data, the data collection kit is installed at the transportation station or parked area. Data is then recorded at the end of the day or route.
Currently, the PC-2D2M passenger counter is onboard the WRTA Youngstown city bus #2012. The study will give us direct association with end users of the traffic count data as well as lend us further insight into mass transit people counting. As always, we will use the feedback to further improve our technology and increase applicability. Stay connected on our blog and upcoming newsletters for up-to-date news on this study.
