Solution 08 · Passenger counting
Know exactly who is on board.
AI and 3D stereo sensors above every door count each boarding and alighting, tie it to the stop, the time and the vehicle, and keep a live headcount for every bus, man-hauler and staff shuttle in the fleet.
How it works
From the door sensor to the report, automatically.
Sensors at every door
AI or 3D stereo sensors mounted above each door watch the step area, day and night, in dust and low light.
AI counts in and out
Each person is tracked across the counting line in either direction, while bags, trolleys and reflections are ignored.
Matched to stop and time
Every boarding and alighting is stamped with GPS position, stop, time, vehicle and driver ID.
Reports and alerts
Live occupancy, capacity alerts and per-trip reports appear in the same M2M platform as tracking and video.
Where it pays
Every seat, every trip, accounted for.
Mine personnel transport
Know who is on each man-hauler and bus at shift change, and have a live list ready for an emergency muster or evacuation.
Staff and contract buses
Bill transport contractors on passengers actually carried per trip, not on estimates or paper tallies.
Public and school transport
Plan routes and frequencies from real boarding data, and reconcile fares against the passengers counted.
Capacity compliance
Alert the driver and the control room the moment a vehicle reaches its licensed capacity.

Questions
Common questions.
How does automatic passenger counting work?
AI or 3D stereo sensors above each door track every person across a counting line in both directions. Each boarding and alighting is stamped with the stop, GPS position, time, vehicle and driver ID.
Why do mines use passenger counting?
To know who is on each man-hauler and bus at shift change, and to have a live list ready for an emergency muster or evacuation.
Does it need separate hardware from the AI cameras?
No. Passenger counting runs on the same MDVR and platform as M2M's AI cameras, so one installation does both.
