Phoenix Skytrain to use 3D passenger counting

The first US installation of the latest Iris Matrix automatic passenger counting system will be on Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport's PHX Sky Train, scheduled to begin service early next year. The new technology with 3D sensors, developed by German company Iris Gmbh and being installed by Bridge Technology, generates a 3D-image of the door space, so that individual people are detected even in tightly packed crowds. “Sky Train customers will benefit with less congestion, which means getting to their

With the unveiling by China (see News section, page 10) of its own, home-grown magnetic levitation train, it would be odd if politicians, policy-makers and the ITS industry did not want to take a closer look at the 'unproven' technology that is magnetic levitation. Fortunately, doing so is easy. The non-profit International Society for Maglev Transportation (The International Maglev Board) has an e
