2.How passenger counting works

AI-powered stereo vision detects and classifies passenger movements in real time.

  1. Door opens

    Door status signal received.

  2. Passengers board or alight

    P3D detects direction and counts.

  3. Counts linked to stop & vehicle data

    Timestamped and associated.

  4. Data transmitted to Vision360

    Live reporting and analytics.

  5. Insights for better decisions

    Plan services and improve experience.

3.Passenger classification & origin-to-destination insights

P3D classifies passenger types and provides OD data to understand travel demand.

  • Adult
  • Child
  • Wheelchair
  • Pushchair
  • Bicycle
  • Large luggage and other objects

Where supported by installation and operating conditions.

4.Where we install

Designed for bus doors and interior zones.

  • Front door

    Entry and exit.

  • Centre door

    Entry and exit.

  • Rear door

    Entry and exit.

  • Interior zone

    If required.

Accurate results depend on correct installation, camera position, lighting, door width and calibration.

5.Typical system architecture

P3D cameras connect to vehicle systems and Vision360.

  • P3D cameras at the doors
  • A vehicle controller or MDVR, for example the 6-Channel MDVR or the Bus / Transport MDVR
  • Vehicle inputs: door signal, GPS, CAN and stop button
  • The Vision360 platform for live data, reporting and analytics

Optional depending on system.
