How do I connect the passenger counter to the Internet if the buses are going to be moving around the city? Is this possible with GPRS?

Ensuring Seamless Internet Connectivity for HPC168 Automatic Passenger Counting System for Bus

For public transit operators, maintaining reliable internet connectivity for passenger counting systems across moving buses is critical for real-time data transmission, operational efficiency, and service optimization. The question of whether this is feasible (especially with GPRS) and how to achieve it is key, and MRB’s HPC168 Automated Passenger Counting System is engineered to address this challenge seamlessly.

GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) stands out as a robust solution for connected mobility, and HPC168 automatic passenger counter for bus is fully equipped to leverage this technology. Whether the bus is idling at a stop or moving through tunnels, the HPC168 bus passenger counter’s GPRS integration maintains stable connectivity, supported by MRB’s optimized RS485 protocol for seamless communication between the passenger counter and onboard systems. This protocol simplifies integration with existing vehicle networks, allowing transit operators to effortlessly sync counting data with fleet management software. This enables continuous data transmission even as buses navigate urban landscapes and ensures that passenger count data is relayed in real time to central management systems.

Beyond GPRS, HPC168 automatic bus passenger counting camera offers versatile connectivity options to suit diverse operational needs. It features an RJ45 LAN interface, enabling wired internet connections. Complemented by an HTTP protocol, this interface facilitates easy integration with web-based management platforms, ensuring flexibility whether the bus is on the move or parked.

What sets the HPC168 automated camera passenger counter sensor apart is its ability to deliver reliable connectivity without compromising counting accuracy. Built with 3D technology and dual cameras, it achieves 95% to 98% accuracy even in dynamic environments - counting passengers wearing hats or hijabs, filtering out baggage, and ignoring shadows or varying light conditions. Its anti-shake and anti-light capabilities ensure consistent performance, while door sensors trigger counting only when doors open, avoiding false counts during stops.

Installation and operation are streamlined with the HPC168’s one-click automatic setting, reducing setup time and technical overhead. For operators seeking to pair counting data with video evidence, the HPC168 bus passenger counting sensor system can be connected to MRB’s MDVR (Mobile Digital Video Recorder), allowing video recording and storage for later review. This integration, combined with free APIs and protocols, ensures the HPC168 passenger counting system can adapt to existing transit ecosystems, whether using GPRS for on-the-go transmission or RJ45 for stationary data management.

In summary, the HPC168 automatic bus passenger counting sensor with camera not only solves the challenge of internet connectivity for moving buses through GPRS and RJ45 options but also elevates passenger counting with precision, durability, and adaptability. For transit operators prioritizing real-time insights and operational excellence, the HPC168 is the definitive solution - proving that reliable, mobile connectivity in passenger counting is not just possible, but effortlessly achievable.
