SOLUTIONS
Automatic Passenger Counting
Innovative, AI-enhanced passenger counting solutions can help operators maintain a clear overview of key metrics such as carriage load and can be used to assist passengers in finding a free seat or quiet carriage.
Real-Time Vehicle Occupancy Data with Over 98% Accuracy
Icomera’s new AI-augmented video analytics module for Automatic Passenger Counting (APC), ICONIC APC, is part of its ICOmera Network Insights & Control (ICONIC) suite of tools and services.
ICONIC APC is an advanced, camera-based AI video analytics application which leverages cutting-edge machine learning technology, optical data from cameras, and geolocation, to count passengers with an accuracy rating of over 98%.
Transport operators can reliably monitor total occupancy levels from each vehicle, including boarding/alighting numbers per station, and total vehicle ingress/egress, all in real-time.
Compounding the Value of Onboard Surveillance Systems
Smart utilisation of assets is also always top of mind. With ICONIC APC, operators can benefit from the dual function of cameras for both APC and video surveillance. This greatly reduces the time and costs needed to install and maintain separate sensors or other pieces of hardware.
ICONIC APC is also hardware agnostic and is compatible with most video surveillance cameras, compounding the value of existing video surveillance systems. The solution can also optionally be integrated with third-party dashboards.
Pinpoint Accuracy for Unmatched Insights
ICONIC APC achieves a verified accuracy of over 98%, using a sophisticated blend of object detection and line-crossing capabilities to measure how many passengers are moving into and out of vehicles at any time.
A powerful AI edge computer allows for the processing of passenger counts and occupancy levels in real-time. It also gives customers the option to scale up and support additional video analytics capabilities in the future.
Data Privacy Compliant
ICONIC APC processes all video analytics data locally, securely, and in real-time. By processing data on board the vehicle, transport operators significantly reduce data consumption compared to cloud-based solutions and, by not sending any sensitive data to the cloud for processing, ICONIC APC remains private and secure.
Moreover, all data collected by ICONIC APC is fully anonymised and no video data processed by the solution are stored. Operators gain valuable insights into how their services are being used, while passengers retain peace of mind that the onboard monitoring system respects their privacy.
ICONIC: An Intelligent, Multi-Purpose Solution
The ICONIC suite extends beyond APC, presenting a comprehensive range of software applications for video data processing, fleet and device monitoring, network issue detection, issue resolution, and more.
When ICONIC APC is combined with Icomera’s ICONIC Video Management System (VMS), operators can conduct real-time, remote device health checks and virtual patrols of vehicles directly from the VMS dashboard, in addition to live monitoring of vehicle occupancy levels.
This seamless integration provides a cost-effective alternative to sensor-based solutions, which require additional hardware installation, maintenance, and manual support.
