Interest was high as Iris Sensing demonstrated its new Irma 6 passenger counting sensor at the show.
Sales Manager, Mark Hendry, says: “I set my goal at 20 leads and we’re up to 30 and there are some very good contacts in there.”
Automatic passenger counting allows operators to understand where passengers get on and off their vehicles and how many passengers they’re carrying.
Mr Hendry says: “We use a time-of-flight infra-red sensor which records a shape and then it checks that the shape matches what the algorithm says it should do, if it does then it’s counted and if it doesn’t its not.
“It allows them to make the passenger experience better by understanding passenger operation and how passengers use their services so when they make changes, they can see whether it has improved the passenger experience or not.”
The new sensor has increased in size from 500 pixels to 76,000 pixels and can now see different shapes such as children, wheelchairs and bicyles.
The scanner is simple to install using just two screws with a twist lock,and only one sensor per door is required. It works independently of ambient light and has active light sources with VCSEL technology.
