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.

    The Finnish Meteorological Institute is currently testing two-way delivery of local weather data as Timo Sukuvaara explains. Road weather information is one of the key ways in which ITS can help reduce traffic accidents and fatalities – which is why the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) has long provided road weather services. Now, the CoMoSeF (Cooperative Mobility Services of the Future) project has been developing communication methodologies to deliver road weather services directly to vehicles and g

    Vehicle counting and travel time determination is said to be easier and more accurate using Bluetrace which detects both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals from motorists smart phones. According to the Netherlands-based company's UK importer Rennicks, only 10% of mobile phone owners have Bluetooth activated whereas most have the Wi-Fi switched on leading to a hit rate of 98% which increase accuracy and granularity while maintaining the anonymity of a non-ANPR system.
