Passenger and object counts for transit teams

Onboard cameras feed local AI analysis that measures passenger movements, seat use and objects, then transfers results to central systems. Transit teams review vehicle zones and multi-purpose areas when planning capacity.

About Passenger and object counts for transit teams

Video measurements give transport teams a view of how people and carried objects use vehicle space. DILAX applies AI analysis to onboard camera data for boarding and alighting, passenger distribution and seat occupancy. Operators use the resulting records when reviewing capacity across vehicle sections and multi-purpose areas.

The arrangement connects existing analogue or digital camera systems with onboard computing units. Local processing takes place within the vehicle before data is transferred to central systems through communication protocols. The analysis includes passengers and objects such as wheelchairs, strollers, bicycles and luggage. It measures seat occupancy by vehicle section and provides distribution records for individual zones, bringing several uses of the onboard space into the same operating data.

Central aggregation and evaluation combine records across vehicles, routes or the fleet. Teams examine how multi-purpose areas are used and compare occupied space with the capacity available for a service. The arrangement supports both retrofit installations and new vehicle projects. These measurements provide the data used by the transport team when reviewing vehicle layouts and preparing its next capacity or service-planning decision.
