Artificial Intelligence 3D APC
Automated Passenger Counter
Product Name: AI 3D APC
Introduction
Smart Urban Sensing’s UK manufactured AI 3D APC is designed as a powerful next generation all in one Automated Passenger Counter hardware sensor device with highly robust and vibration proof features allowing installations on transport such as buses, trams and trains. Our highly advanced Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligent Sensors are designed with attention to detail to provide the most accurate, reliable, and cost-effective sensor the market has to offer.
The Automated Passenger Counter delivers highly accurate real time Occupancy and GPS data, with fully Integratable capabilities of delivering high quality data into a fleet management transportation system. With added functionalities such as delivering real time occupancy data on Transportation Apps such as a BUS ETA Applications, only materials of the highest grade are used to offer a high quality and long-lasting system. With exceptional multi-functional features such as CCTV and a WiFi hotspot, the AI 3D APC device is a world leader.

Key Concerns
Lack of concrete data to make informed business decisions
• What is the arrival time at each bus stop?
• What is the utilization rate for bus routes?
• What is the occupancy at each bus stop?
• How effective is the bus route planning?
• Can the frequency of bus rides cope with the demand?
• At which point of the route do passengers enter/leave the bus?
How would passenger counting help?
Electronic log-book with arrival time at each bus stop:
• GPS locations
• Live bus tracker with 4G network
• Occupancy and Passenger Count at each bus stop of the route
• Visibility on real-time occupancy
• Maximize the utilisation of each bus
• Reduce cost by having effective bus route planning
• Enhance passenger experience
Latest Tracking Technology
Smart Urban Sensing products utilise stereoscopic vision that mimics human eyes to accurately capture the positioning and placement of visitors and is able to recreate the field of depth and ensure the integrity of its counting data.
Depth Reconstruction
Information capture from the two differing views will be combined and interpreted into depth data, which are inversely proportional to the differences in distance to the objects.
Data Integrity
Smart Urban Sensing uses a video image processing algorithm with 1.2GHz processing power to guarantee of 98% + accuracy in the integrity of our counting data.
Uncompromised Accuracy
Once a counter has been verified by verification specialists, the accuracy will not decrease over time, unless the store environment has been changed.
Product Features
Using two lens to facilitate depth perception and three-dimensional reconstruction of an image for the most accurate people counter ever.
Equipped with a powerful 1GHz processor and quad core processor, the unit is equivalent to a full version computer, all compacted into one counter.
By using 3D point mapping technology, random movement and pattern changes in the background will be filtered and removed, providing a true count of the visitors.
Automatically filtering and distinguishing inanimate objects from shoppers to retrieve the true visitor count by learning the behaviour of shoppers over time.
Product Functionality
Counting Passengers Bi-Directionally
Key Features
- Count the passengers entering and leaving a bus, tram or train. Receive real-time occupancy and cumulative passenger count.
- Integrate all data with your Fleet Management System & Bus ETA appplication.
- Time stamped occupancy reports to develop more cost-efficient schedules and routes.
Integrate with your Fleet Management System
- Input occupancy data into your system through API
- Know bus occupancy over different timings at different locations
- Identify key trends and make informed decisions:
- Optimise Route Planning
- Optimise Allocation of Resources
Integrate with your Bus ETA App
Display Bus Occupancy Level on your Bus App
- Passengers can have easy access to the Occupancy Level for each bus:
- Full
- Almost Full
- Low
- Help passengers to pre-plan their journey better
- Better manage passengers’ expectation on number of empty seats, thereby improving customer experience
Occupancy Reports for Management
Keep track of bus live occupancy:
• Monitor live occupancy for buses along a route
• Assign more buses to highly-occupied routes
Keep track of occupancy trend
• Clear insight into occupancy trend based on historical data
• Management can view the occupancy reports on:
- Company Level
- Route Level
- Bus Level
Additional Features
- Built-in HD CCTV via 360 degrees fisheye lens. A 64GB SD Card provides continuous recording of up to 2 weeks.
- Provide a Wi-Fi hotspot to passengers, whilst collecting data for passenger demographics and travel frequency.
- Built-in GPS and 4G network to measure bus occupancy at different locations at different timestamps.

Reliability: Ensuring Functionality
25 Years MMFT
The Mean Time To Failure represents how long a product can reasonably be expected to perform in the field based on specific testing. Thousands of hours of research have proven that our products are expected to have a longer MTTF of 25 years, which can be a cost efficient investment to study the visitor behaviour.
Triple Operating System
The AI IOT Unit has 3 built in Operating Systems in the unlikely circumstance that one operating system fails to function properly. The second and third operating system will be put into action and will automatically rebuild and recover the first operating system. This is to ensure zero data corruption.
Hardware Watchdog
The hardware watchdog is in place to reboot the system in the event the operating system crashes. The hardware watchdog provides continuous operation with real time checks the server is connected. In the event there are more than 12 fail checks, the counter automatically reboots, to ensure zero down time.
Efficiency in Every Detail
