Smart passenger flow control

Autoconductor

With growing pressure on transportation infrastructure, efficient passenger flow management is becoming increasingly critical. In the absence of robust systems, transit companies face bottlenecks, capacity overloads, and service inefficiencies.

Autoconductor is a smart solution powered by artificial intelligence, integrating video surveillance, real-time analytics, and automation tools. It allows operators to monitor transit operations, forecast route demand, and oversee driver compliance – all in real time.

Solution benefits 

Boost revenue by 25-30%

By precisely counting passengers and monitoring ticket usage, the system eliminates revenue loss from untracked fares or unauthorized collections -resulting in greater financial transparency.

Better passenger experience 

Passengers receive up-to-date information on arrivals and weather at stops and inside the vehicle. Trust grows, and satisfaction rises – on average by 16%.

Smarter route planning

Detailed analytics by time and day help optimize schedules and fleet allocation. Unnecessary or low-occupancy trips are minimized, improving overall efficiency.

Less stress for drivers and dispatchers

Drivers get all critical info right on their dashboard – no distractions, no overload. It’s easier to focus on safe driving and handle issues quickly.

Stronger safety and oversight 

With continuous video monitoring, driver behavior tracking, and built-in smoke and temperature sensors, the system helps prevent incidents. It also verifies operation on subsidized routes automatically.

Frequently asked questions

How does the autoconductor help resolve disputes?

The system records everything happening inside the vehicle. If a conflict arises – whether it’s a passenger complaint or staff behavior, you can review the footage to understand exactly what happened.

How does it count passengers?

The autoconductor uses advanced sensors and smart cameras to track each boarding and exit. It avoids double-counting and sends accurate data straight to the central platform, giving you a full breakdown of every trip.

How does it help grow revenue?

The system provides transparent data on actual passenger numbers and trip-related revenue. It prevents unauthorized fare collection and ensures accurate accounting, leading to a 25-35% increase in revenue through better oversight and route optimization.

Capabilities and technical details

Video monitoring for incident handling

Equipped with Full HD 1080p cameras supporting HDR and low-light operation, the system continuously records activity inside the cabin and near the doors. This helps resolve disputes impartially and improves safety across the transport network.

Passenger counting with high accuracy

AI-driven cameras track passengers boarding and alighting, with more than 95% precision. Duplicate entries are filtered – passengers are counted only once, even if they briefly leave and re-enter. All metrics are logged and compiled into time-based reports to support route optimization.

Fare and revenue monitoring

The system eliminates unauthorized fare collection and supports full revenue tracking for all types of passengers. Key benefits include:

  • Per-trip revenue analytics
  • Seamless integration with fare processing platforms
  • Monitoring of discounted or subsidized passengers

 

Passenger comfort

Passengers receive real-time updates:

  • Smart displays at stops show real-time bus arrival info
  • In-vehicle screens display weather updates and current temperature
  • Automated announcements provide route and stop details

Smarter support for drivers 

Drivers benefit from:

  • Real-time cabin video, live weather updates, and dispatcher communications
  • Notifications about vehicle health, service needs, and fuel usage
