Actual and real passenger figures are valuable data for rail operators. They are used for simple passenger statistics, to evaluate passenger behavior, to verify the acceptance of smart card systems and provide facts for revenue sharing schemes. Moreover they are also used to evaluate and analyze traffic flow and passenger peaks within a transportation network.

Generating real online information about passenger streams can provide essential inputs to traffic management systems that handle rush hour conditions. Such real-time information can be transferred using the TrainCom^® radio system.

Advantages:

• Resilient information basis for revenue sharing schemes
• Creating clear views into traffic situations
• Enables better handling of peak time situations

• Easy passenger statistics
• Basis for revenue analysis
• Simplified passenger data acquisition - no manual data collection
