End user transport market shows strong growth

Transport hubs such as bus terminals, airports, and train stations require efficient management of passenger flow. People counting systems help monitor and analyse passenger movement, leading to better scheduling and reduced congestion. These systems help provide accurate counting systems and assist in monitoring crowd levels in real-time, which is critical for maintaining safety and security in transportation facilities. This helps in preventing overcrowding and ensuring swift evacuation during emergency.

Infrared beam technology comparatively cost effective

Infrared beam systems are a relatively low-cost solution compared to other technologies like video analytics or thermal imaging. This makes them a cost effective solution for budget-conscious businesses. Moreover, these technologies are simple to install and require minimal maintenance and function well in various lighting conditions and are not affected by rain or dust, unlike some other technologies making them ideal for a variety of applications.

Bidirectional systems offer particular opportunities in retail

The use of bidirectional systems is crucial for optimising staffing levels and monitoring queues in order to improve the customer experience. They enable businesses to track people's flow through different areas in order to analyse space utilisation. Specifically, the retail sector, in particular, benefits from bidirectional people counting as it helps in evaluating store performance, analysing conversion rates, planning marketing campaigns and for effective space management and security purposes.
