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.

    Sick has launched the TIC502 Lidar sensor traffic and warning system which is said to scan vehicles up to 100 times a second with 99% accuracy to generate a 3D profile of each vehicle. The all-weather solution can be used for counting fast lane, free-flowing and static traffic to facilitate real-time management and electronic toll charge assessment of all vehicle types according to standard international transport classifications. TIC502 has a range of up to 40 metres and minimum mounting height of 1.5

The effects of climate change on the transport infrastructure have long been a cause of concern within the transportation sector - and not only on the structures themselves but also on the surrounding areas. This year, those concerns have become reality with landslides, structural collapses and surfacing issues impacting services across the wo
