System for passenger traffic monitoring

La description

Real quantity of passengers, carried in public transport often is a secret for transport companies. Main reason is that the management of these companies can judge this amount only on the basis of circumstantial evidence - amount of daily receipts. It is not a secret that drivers and conductors often underestimate this amount. As a result, a company loses up to *0% of their profit.

One of effective solutions of this problem is calculation of passengers by means of monitoring system “POTOK”. 

Principle of operation is based on counting of doorway crossings by passengers, realized by means of infrared sensors, mounted in the door opening(s) of a vehicle. Information about quantity of carried passengers transfers to control station by means of GSM***0/***0 channels in GPRS mode.

System for monitoring of passenger traffic “POTOK” allows to proceed prompt control and analysis of routine movement of vehicles, including:

1.    Evaluation of quantity of carried people (per hour/day/month/year) and level of the route’s workload;

2.    Calculation of total receipts;

3.    Analysis of emergencies, connected with operation of equipment, installed at vehicles;

4.    Optimization of transport traffic schedule;

5.    Putting reasonable quantity of buses (or other vehicles) on every rout.

Configuration of “POTOK” system:

• Control station - PC, connected to Internet, with installed software POTOK-Express;
• Transport sets (one set per each vehicle);
• Data transfer medium: cellular channels standard GSM **0/***0 in batch communication mode or Internet-channels.
