Hella launches advanced people counting for public transportation

Hella says its APS-90 and APS-180 advanced people sensors are highly dynamic stereoscopic cameras with sufficient on-board computing power to bundle precise image processing and feature-rich application software in a new, appealing design. With their 3D imaging, low-light sensitivity and very short latency, the cameras are suitable for a wide range of people-counting applications and security solutions in any lighting conditions. The APS-90 is capable of monitoring an area up to 20m2, while the APS-180 can

226 Hella says its APS-90 and APS-180 advanced people sensors are highly dynamic stereoscopic cameras with sufficient on-board computing power to bundle precise image processing and feature-rich application software in a new, appealing design.


With their 3D imaging, low-light sensitivity and very short latency, the cameras are suitable for a wide range of people-counting applications and security solutions in any lighting conditions. The APS-90 is capable of monitoring an area up to 20m2, while the APS-180 can monitor an area up to 64m2.

Both provide coverage of multiple counting points with a single device and the company says they offer 98% accuracy even in crowded areas. Both deliver separate results for adults and children as well as classification and suppression of false counts of non-human objects.

Features include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning, wireless data transmission and access to the web-based configuration tool, as well as synchronous recording of video and motion data, proprietary software to view video and motion data and offline verification of counting accuracy and behavioural data.

    Ted Bowser explains how the almost total Wi-Fi coverage at Ride-On’s new bus garage is providing big benefits for the operator and passengers alike. The ability to download and upload data to and from the various systems on board buses has become central to mass transit operators’ business model. So when Ride-On, the public transportation system in Maryland’s Montgomery County, was moving one of its three depots into a bigger and purpose-built facility, connectivity was a key consideration.
