PASSENGER COUNTER Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC G07C9/00 G06V20/59 

FIELD: transport equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a complex for monitoring the passenger flow of fixed-route vehicles. The complex contains a control printed circuit board connected to the power controller with a means of video counting and video monitoring of passenger flow located on it and an access controller made in the form of an input/output module that encapsulates the mechanisms for data exchange between interface modules and data processing and storage modules, providing interface modules with a single interface interaction, the specified means of video counting and video monitoring of passenger traffic is located in a separate working area and consists of a grouped interconnected set of components, including an imaging module with a built-in video camera that forms a long-range image, as well as a passenger counting module that is activated in the event of opening the doorway of the vehicle, and a block video recorder, which send the received and processed information to a non-volatile data storage, while the imaging module is made with the possibility of obtaining long-range images generated by the matrix of the said built-in video camera, and performing monitoring of the configured viewing area, correcting the operation of the signal source and controlling the existing source of laser pulsed illumination, sends data to the indicated passenger counting module and the video recorder unit, the first of which implements the passenger flow counting algorithm , based on the detection of moving objects, tracking the boundaries of their movement, and also on fixing the entry and exit of each passenger, and the second one provides recording of video data in order to control the correctness of the calculation of passenger traffic and events occurring in the observation area, and the processed results of the analysis in the form of certain quantitative indicators and video data are sent to a non-volatile data storage that provides their temporary storage.

EFFECT: technical result consists in more accurate tracking of passenger traffic.
