“Display systems to contribute significant share in automated passenger counting and information system market.”

Display systems are poised to drive the system type segment in automated passenger counting and information systems. With increasing demand for real-time information dissemination and enhanced passenger experience, display systems play a pivotal role in providing timely and relevant information to commuters. These systems offer vital updates on schedules, delays, and occupancy levels and serve as interactive platforms for passengers to engage with transit services. As transit authorities prioritize passenger satisfaction and operational efficiency, the adoption of display systems is expected to surge, driving growth in the automated passenger counting and information system market.

“Infrared technology segment contributes significant growth rate in the automated passenger counting market.”

The growth of infrared technology in automated passenger counting systems is expected to surge due to several factors. Infrared technology offers enhanced accuracy and reliability in detecting and counting passengers, even in low-light or crowded environments, making it particularly suitable for various transportation settings such as buses, trains, and airports. Infrared sensors can capture depth information, allowing for precise identification and tracking of individuals, thereby improving the accuracy of passenger counting systems. The non-intrusive nature of infrared sensors ensures passenger privacy while still providing valuable data for transit operators to optimize service planning and resource allocation. Additionally, the decreasing costs and increasing availability of infrared technology make it more accessible for integration into automated passenger counting systems, further driving its adoption and market growth.

“North America will contribute significantly to the growth rate in automated passenger counting and information system market.”

The transport industry in North America is well-developed, and transit operators use passenger information systems to improve their service offerings and enhance passengers’ traveling experience. The transit operators in the region have realized the importance of passenger information systems and, as such, have started using them on a large scale. The automated passenger counting systems make transit services comfortable and safe as they can provide real-time passenger occupancy information. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) is one of the oldest transit agencies in the US, having more than 1,000 vehicles operating across more than 80 routes in the country. The agency has installed NextBus Inc. (US) passenger information systems, including over 900 LED signs at its bus shelters. The aim of using passenger information systems is to predict the arrival time of vehicles and provide real-time information about them to passengers.
