MARKET LEADER IN AI-Driven Capacity analytics & forecasting for Public Transport
Operators
Currently 3 rail operators from 2 countries are already using OpenCapacity's capacity forecasting or performance analytics tools.
Collect, analyse, predict, display
OpenCapacity is a system to collect, analyse, predict and display the occupancy, accessibility and performance of public transport.
We measure passenger load by using existing public transport data sources, such as weight sensors, CCTV cameras, door sensors, and ticketing information. Cross-referencing these sources helps us strengthen the overall accuracy of passenger numbers.
Real-time information display
Our system provides real-time information on available space inside train carriages, buses, and other modes of transport to passengers and operators via information screens, mobile apps and dashboards.
This will allow passengers to better plan their journeys and travel more comfortably, as well as allowing operators to further optimise their systems.
Machine learning and predictive modelling
Displaying the occupancy of an approaching train is not enough. At large transport hubs many passengers will alight from a busy train, making room for others waiting on the platform.
It is therefore essential to analyse the data for patterns and cross-reference it against other data sources like weather and event calendars to model and predict passenger flow.
A particularly pertinent piece of information is the capacity after alighting, which is the result of OpenCapacity’s predictive modelling.
