Real-time capacity monitoring and modelling

Challenge

Real-time passenger capacity monitoring within the local transport network of a municipality, estimate of passenger flow at each stop and forecasting of capacity and flow KPIs and generation of heatmaps.

Combination-based VAx

Solution

Future Connections worked with a system integrator to deploy edge-computing VAx on the vehicles to calculate passenger capacity using on-board security cameras. Telemetry was sent to the cloud for postprocessing and analysis using 3G/4G mobile network. In addition, Future Connections big data & analytics team provided KPI definition and calculation, modelling and forecasting expertise. Machine learning algorithms were introduced to model KPIs behaviour and trending.

Benefits

Real-time information used by the local transport company for smart management of routes and frequencies around the municipality.
