Xovis

Xovis PTS - a passenger counting and tracking system. The Xovis passenger counting and tracking system (PTS) enables airports to reach new levels of passenger flow analysis and steering. Besides the normal passenger counting, process and waiting times in queuing areas can be measured precisely. The behavior of passengers can be analyzed and the passenger flow can be steered by switching the signalization, controlling escalators etc. The technology is based on a vision sensor with a powerful, specialized processing engine implemented in FPGA technology that makes it possible to perform a full-image individual passenger tracking on the sensor itself. Since the whole processing is performed on the sensor, no video streaming is necessary and data privacy is guaranteed. A number of sensors with ranges that overlap slightly can be combined for the seamless coverage of larger areas. Passengers can be tracked over the entire area being covered, not limiting the tracking to the viewing range of a single sensor.
