Radical growth in populations in cities along with the rapid extension of roadways requires an increase in public transit as well. For bus lines, this means an increase in the number of stops, upgraded buses, and a better experience for passengers. Whether passing through a downtown area or easing through the suburbs, bus operators must make safety the first priority.

VF&T’s cutting-edge solution incorporates AI-powered analytics, video security, on-site voice broadcast, and centralized management to enhance security and improve efficiency at bus stops and transit bus systems, ensuring a safer and more comfortable experience for everyone.

Anomaly detection

Challenges
Bus stops are prone to a number of risks due to their special locations. Generic monitoring cannot detect anomalies in time to prevent accidents and ensure public safety, leading to a terrible experience of waiting and riding transit bus.

Rush hour risks

Unlawful gathering or loitering at bus stops

VF&T’s transit solution helps operators detect risky anomalies at bus stops, using automated alarm systems to  ensure security and operational efficiency. At the same time, the system supports third-party integration with great stability and usability.

BENEFITS

  • Precise detection of common anomalies at bus stops to enhance public security 
  • Real-time alarm and video evidence to improve enforcement efficiency and effectiveness
  • Standard integration interface guarantees system stability and usability

FEATURES

  • Detection of the most common activities, including illegal gathering, loitering, line crossing, unattended baggage, etc.
  • Automatically generated alarms with associated images or video
  • Supports for devices and software-level integration

Bus stop passenger flow counting

Challenges
Bus stop status updates are crucial when optimizing bus departure intervals and planning routes. Incomplete information can reduce the operational efficiency and cause unnecessary wait times.

Inefficient or poorly planned routes

VF&T’s transit solution empowers operators with multidimensional perception to acquire the real-time passenger flow of any bus stop. Based on statistical insights, operators can optimize bus routes and schedules to meet actual transportation needs of riders with enhanced efficiency and comfort.

BENEFITS

  • Passenger flow information to help operators optimize bus route planning and bus scheduling 
  • Enhanced transportation efficiency

FEATURES

  • Collects passenger flow information at bus stops
  • Generates visual passenger flow reports in terms of buses, bus stops, and bus routes

Bus stop voice broadcast

Challenges
With hundreds of bus stops and limited enforcement patrols, video monitoring with conventional alarms are unable to handle events in a timely manner. This often results in missed opportunities to handle events like collisions, and more.

Limited resource to secure the bus stops

AI-detected events automatically link with a voice broadcast to help monitoring centers close the business loop, improving the passenger experience.

BENEFITS

  • Station-level voice broadcast ensures operators can achieve accurate broadcasts
  • Pre-defined voice broadcast mode provides an effective method for event handling at stops
  • Group voice broadcast offers easy operations for regional  emergency broadcasts

FEATURES

  • Live voice broadcast: Select a group of bus stops for live broadcasting
  • Pre-uploaded audio broadcasts: Broadcast pre-uploaded audio files manually or on your time schedule
  • Detected event-linked broadcasts: Accurate site broadcasts triggered by detected events such as emergencies, congestion, smoking, etc.

Illegal parking detection

Challenges
Illegal parking at bus stops significantly affects inbound and outbound buses, slowing down the process for passengers getting on and off and reducing efficiency. Disputes without evidence also create hazards violation enforcement due to missing or obscure security footage.

Buses delayed by blocked routes

Inefficient law enforcement of illegal parking without evidence

VF&T’s solution helps operators capture violations automatically and generate evidence for follow-up with an intelligent and configurable illegal parking detection system.

BENEFITS

  • Remote detection and management of parking violations improves enforcement efficiency
  • Smoother transportation with less illegal parking to avoid bus congestion

FEATURES

  • Accurate detection of parked vehicles with ultra clear close-up images
  • Supports for auto-switching and multiple scene detection, covering wide areas
  • Supports for automatic upload of illegally parked vehicle images, facilitating efficient evidence management

Operation center

Challenges
Bus stops are located all around highly-populated urban areas, and bus operators lack versatile and easy-to-use central operations software to help them monitor and manage the various stops efficiently.

Low efficient bus stop management

Traditional platform has too few functions without central

VF&T’s solution equips operators with a centralized system for acquiring comprehensive device status, converging processed information, alerts, and standard API to ensure simplicity, easy integration, and scalability.

BENEFITS

  • Easy installation and maintenance; less deployment costs leads to more profitable operation 
  • Project size and scope are scalable, adapting to any bus operator size 
  • Convenient integration with standardized API to improve supervision efficiency

FEATURES

  • Users can manage and monitor device health status, check operating status at all remote sites, and operate devices in groups or batches 
  • Detects all types of violations on one platform 
  • Provides standard API including video, intelligent analysis, events and alarms 
  • Collects statistics such as people density and people counting information for optimized bus operations
